** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  parted reports NVMe devices as "Unknown", which propagates up to d-i:
  
-   ┌────────────────────────┤ [!!] Partition disks ├─────────────────────────┐
-   │ │
-   │ Note that all data on the disk you select will be erased, but not │
-   │ before you have confirmed that you really want to make the changes. │
-   │ │
-   │ Select disk to partition: │
-   │ │
-   │ /dev/nvme0n1 - 450.1 GB Unknown │
-   │ SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sdi) - 240.1 GB ATA INTEL SSDSC2BB24 │
-   │ SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sdj) - 800.2 GB ATA SDLFOCAM-800G-1H │
-   │ │
-   │ <Go Back> │
-   │ │
-   └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

+ While d-i works fine with this device as-is, the "Unknown" string is a
+ source of consternation with some users who aren't sure if NVMe is
+ supported.
  
  [Test Case]
  Current:
  $ sudo parted -s /dev/nvme0n1 p
  Model: Unknown
  Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 512GB
  [...]
  
  Expected:
  $ sudo parted -s /dev/nvme0n1 p
  Model: NVMe Device (nvme)
  Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 512GB
  [...]
  
  [Regression Risk]
  There maybe user code out there relying on the existing "Unknown" output.
