Followup-For: Bug #863651

Dear Maintainer,

Just ran into the same problem with the actual debian 9 netinst iso installer.

Partitioned disks and wanted to create a bcache device - there is no way to do 
this out of the installer. So you have to take the hard way to first install 
normally and then use a live CD to backup, re-partition and then restore.

Nowasays SSD are common and using bcache is a nice way to speed up the spindle 
disks of the system.

At least put make-bcache onto the installer image so you can create that 
filesystem manually from the installer console.
