I hope this clarifies things, and I'll try to fix the man-page and the wiki page
as soon as possible!
I had trouble ti understand that description the first time, but now I
got it - in other words:
preserve_reinstall is the same as preserve_always, with the only
exception that it is NOT preserving things if the FAI_FLAGS value
"initial" is set.
I guess this is useful for an initial installation where nothing is to
be preserved, so you can do such an initial installation without
changing the whole disk config file, then remove the flag and the
partitions are save for every reinstall afterwards...
