I wrote nbd support for debian-installer in Debian. For this to work,
the partman-nbd installer module needs to be loaded. This module has a
Depends: on the nbd-modules udeb, which exists in Debian but not in
Ubuntu.

Since the nbd module is packaged as part of the block-modules udeb in
Ubuntu, the easiest way to make partman-nbd work there, too would seem
to be to add a Provides: nbd-modules. Alternatively, the nbd module
could be moved to its own nbd-modules udeb, or partman-nbd could be
changed in Ubuntu to depend on the block-modules udeb instead (which
would imply a fork and is therefore not advisable).
