No, 'partman' there is just an argument to log-output to tell it how to
tag the log messages. partman is started up in
partman/partman-base/debian/postinst.

We don't use bash, but instead busybox's shell implementation; and no,
at least I have never used a shell debugger. 'set -x' works pretty well
for tracing things.
I would expect a patch for this bug to touch
partman/partman-base/parted_server.c at least; that's where all
partman's libparted interaction happens.
