Comments/Problems:
I chose auto-partitioning on a 4G drive, chose the "Desktop machine" 
configuration (seperate root, swap, and home partitions) and chose "Desktop 
environment" installation packages.

The auto-allocated space for the root partition was insufficient size for 
the installation of the default "Desktop environment" packages selection 
choice, and the packages failed to install due to lack of space. Other than 
printing to the screen about 'need to get ### megs of packages, ### megs will 
be used', no obvious warnings about a lack of space came from the 
installation or package management. The resulting system was in terrible 
shape.  

According to the Sarge installation manual section about "Disk Space Needed 
for Tasks" (http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/apcs03.html), the 
space necessary for this is a little over 2 Gigs. The auto-partioning during 
install set up the root partition with 1.2 Gigs.

Granted, the disk I used wasn't huge, and I know the installer can't read 
minds, but there was plenty of space in the disk. If it's going to do 
auto-allocation, it would be helpful to auto-allocate space necessary to 
install the package-groups that are listed in the installer itself.

A subsequent re-install, setting it up all on one partition ("Beginner" 
partitioning choice), was a complete success.

Regards, 
Rob

Changes:

 .
   [ Joey Hess ]
   * Renamed multi_user scheme to just "multi" as in multiple partitions.
     There are more uses for this scheme than multi user systems.
   * Switch package to arch all and only include recipes for the given
     architecture and any subarches in each package.
   * Rules file cleanups.
   * Control file cleanups.
   * Change descriptions of home and multi recipes to just list the partitions
     that are included. Closes: #287409, #288884
   * Increase minimal size of / partition in home recipe to 500 mb.
     Closes: #289419, #330079
   * Double the weight of the root partition in the multi scheme from 400 to
     800. This should increase the size allocated on reasonable size disks
     from the previous 250 mb to something slightly more reasonable.
     Closes: #328514
 .
   [ Steve Langasek ]
   * Add a smalldisk recipe for alpha, so that systems with little disk space
     can use a single ext2 partition for the whole install (closes: #261182).
 .
   [ Colin Watson ]
   * Remove duplicated chrp_rs6k recipes and install a symlink instead.
 .
   [ Fabio M. Di Nitto ]
   * Start implementing bits required to avoid code duplication with
     partman-auto-lvm as per discussion on debian-boot mailing list.
     (See http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2005/10/msg00842.html)
   * Add lvmok{ } to recipes as per discussion on debian-boot mailing list.
     NOTES:
       - nobody objected to a tag/properties/flag name or proposed something
         different. It is clearly ok to rename it if it doesn't fit.
       - swap will stay out of LVM for now. In some cases it is known to break
         suspend/resume. It seems not all kernels are able to resume from it.
       - porters will have to adjust their recipes. I could only test
         i386/amd64 (via recipes) and powerpc-powermac_newworld (via
         recipes-powerpc-powermac_newworld).
   * Move common code into auto-shared.sh shelllib and create 3 functions:
     wipe_disk, create_primary_partitions (see comments in the file) and
     create_partitions.
   * Install auto-shared.sh in /lib/partman (chages debian/rules)
   * Make perform_recipe and autopartition use auto-shared.sh.
   * Make create_partitions set a var for all the devices that will be marked
     as pv. This is actually only used by partman-auto-lvm, but it is generic
     enough that could be used later on for other tasks.
     NOTES: the above changes have been tested on i386/amd64/ppc and there is
     no known breakage. The code is only moved around and none of the actual
     recipes use method{ lvm } used by partman-auto-lvm to mark partitions as
     pv volumes.
