Righto, great. This was fixed in partman-basicfilesystems 51ubuntu1 as
follows:
partman-basicfilesystems (51ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low
* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
- Default to mounting partitions with usefully-mountable filesystems on
subdirectories of /media.
- Add minimal support for NTFS partitions.
- Mount FAT and NTFS filesystems at boot (fstab pass 1).
- Mount FAT with utf8 and NTFS with nls=utf8.
- Mount FAT and NTFS with umask=007,gid=46 (static group plugdev).
* When formatting over the top of an existing swap partition, preserve its
UUID to avoid leaving systems that use UUIDs in /etc/fstab without swap.
