Make sure to add partman-base to any of the pkg-lists. For powerpc and ppc64,
I'm always adding partman-hfs and hfsprogs-udeb locally like this:
diff --git a/build/pkg-lists/cdrom/powerpc.cfg
b/build/pkg-lists/cdrom/powerpc.cfg
index 92bd37aee..6b10bef28 100644

Adding partman-base in a similar fashion should fix your problem as otherwise
the udeb is only pulled in while debian-installer is running.
