Package: partman-base
Version: 163
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-bsd@lists.debian.org

Hi, Debian Install System Team!

Please, please could we skip the load_extra function of partman on
non-Linux arches:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=d-i/partman-base.git;a=blob;f=partman;h=c993b94a1414c922d4880c748f95ffed7ee31309;hb=HEAD#l15

What this does is force partman-lvm and/or partman-auto-lvm to be
installed even on arches that can't satisfy the dependency on lvm2-udeb.
 The packages cannot function without the lvm tools.

What this leads to (and this may also be a bug / consequence of not
installing the udebs from the normal module-chooser d-i step) is up to
1122KiB of translated Description fields being added to
/var/lib/cdebconf/templates.dat

On GNU/kFreeBSD, space on the d-i ramdisk (rootfs) is scarce because it
cannot dynamically resize.  With certain preseeding options the
installation of these packages can exhaust available space and
break/abort the install process.

GNU/Hurd doesn't have lvm2-udeb so can't use partman-lvm either.

Thanks!

 .
   * Skip load_extra on GNU/kFreeBSD and GNU/Hurd to avoid loading extra
     components which cannot work due to missing dependencies (notably
     partman-*lvm is missing lvm2-udeb on non-Linux architectures); this
     should avoid running out of space on the (non-resizable) rootfs on
     GNU/kFreeBSD (Closes: #699704). Thanks, Steven Chamberlain!
