It was perfectly fine here, so no, I don't think that's the case at all.
I'd like to see the contents of the directory corresponding to that
filesystem in /var/lib/partman/devices, particularly the 'method' file.
Also, can one of you put 'set -x' at the top of
/lib/partman/finish.d/07newworld and arrange for partman's stderr to go
somewhere you can capture?
