This is directed just at Steve Beattie for now, because these directions
are suited for modifying the image he's using but not for modifying
ubiquity, which edisso is using.  If this becomes a problem I'll revise
later, but it should do for now.

Steve, please do the following:

  * 'apt-get source parted', apply http://paste.ubuntu.com/418715/ to it, and 
'debuild -b'.
  * 'apt-get source partman-base', apply http://paste.ubuntu.com/418716/ to it, 
and 'debuild -b'.
  * Start your VM, in such a state that the next installation will reproduce 
this bug.  Make sure that it has network access to the machine on which you 
built these packages; if you just built on the VM host and are using kvm, then 
I believe 10.0.2.2 should work by default.
  * Run through the installation until the point where it asks you for your 
hostname, switch to tty2, and start a shell.
  * Run 'anna-install openssh-client-udeb', scp over the libparted0-udeb and 
partman-base udebs you just built, and unpack them both using 'udpkg --unpack'.
  * Switch back to tty1, reproduce the bug, and exit to the installer main menu.
  * Attach the resulting /var/log/syslog, /var/log/partman, and 
/var/log/parted_server.err to this bug.

Thanks in advance!  I haven't tested these directions, so please get in
touch with me on IRC if you have problems.
