This issue will be further discussed during a Debian Installer team 
meeting on Wednesday next week. You can expect some decision from the 
team about whether the udebs can stay or not after that.

Even if they accepted, there will be some packaging changes needed, 
therefore reopening this BR. We'll give you details of needed changes 
after the decision, but basically they are:
- gnu-cfdisk udeb should be dropped because of its dependency on
  ncurses, which is not supported in D-I
- D-I does not support "Conflicts:"; Robert suggested renaming the binary
  to gnu-fdisk to avoid the conflicts

Cheers,
FJP
