Also, next time, please include the bug title, and not only its number, much
easier to check this kind of stuff per email :)

Huh, we must be really mistaken, the bug is about broken prep support in
partman-prep, right, which then breaks prep-installer, and causes the install
to fail. Ah, yes, this is not the bug about broken partman-prep, maybe it is
best to merge it or something ? 

Anyway, i will try to do a new install but i can't guarantee anything, and see
what the status of this one is.

As far as i remember, this bug may still be present in one form or another as
the symptom of the breakness i experienced since earlier this year is exactly
the same.
