The algorithm is implemented as a shell script. Look at
debian-installer/packages/partman/partman-auto/perform_recipe
if you want. I think it is not easy to read and understand this code.
However I have just described in
debian-installer/installer/doc/devel/partman-auto-recipe.txt
how partman-auto computes the partition sizes.
