Hi,
I ran into this because I have an elaborate chroot script¹ that
handles start-stop-daemon, initctl, policy-rc.d, etc. and can
reproduce this as follows:
I’ve debootstrapped bullseye up to first stage, then entered
the chroot and:

Hi,
why is this bug still unfixed?
In bookworm d-i, entering 512 MiB seems to be using something
entirely different, and 512 Mi gives an error “invalid size”.
This still makes d-i unsuitable for most partitioning.
