Thanks for fixing this,


I was not aware of this bug, so did not close it...


I'm not sure what to do with it, now. Partman is done and those bugs
archived. This is against debian-installer, and I presume there's some
lag before it picks up/bundles a fixed partman, so perhaps this bug
should track that. Can someone with more of a clue tell me if that makes
sense?


Should this be considered for backporting to stable?


And I'm guessing that should be tracked in yet another bug.

I think it should, though there is a small risk of regression if people
install on very small storage devices.

This is indeed fixed for bullseye, tracked in #893886 / #951709, leading to 
/boot
getting a size between 512 and 768MB (depending on disc size).

@Tobias: you can try a daily build from 
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/
to confirm it works for you for installation of bullseye.

I was not aware of this bug, so did not close it...

Should this be considered for backporting to stable?

Hi

I thought this would have been fixed by this commit

https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/partman-auto/-/commit/79bea1c75d2fd9fbd6eb01c1bea6de2914d24d22

which will be available in the 'daily' build of the installer.
I don't know what the prospects are for having this applied to
the 'stable' installer.

Kind regards
Vince
