Perfect, that's just what I thought.
There are two causes for this bug. The first was that, in Hardy, I fixed
bug 107326, which meant that GPT support was broken for everyone *not*
on an Apple system. (That's the reason why simply reverting to an older
version is not the answer here; I don't like toggling between bugs!) The
second is that Apple changed their company name in early 2007 from
"Apple Computer, Inc." to "Apple Inc.", and so all machines manufactured
since then identify themselves with the new name rather than the old
name. Most of the installer was updated some time back (see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=483182) but we forgot
about parted.
I'll get this fixed in Jaunty very shortly, and we should issue an
update for at least Ubuntu 8.04.3 as well. (Intrepid is trickier since
we have no plans to produce updated CD images, but I suppose parted is
used on the installed system too.)
