The last thing the log shows is that the "active_partition" dialog is
being prepared, which has the following "keys":
25divider__________divider, 65toggle_bootable__________bootable,
75divider__________divider, 83copy__________copy,
87delete__________delete, 99finish__________finished
And it has the following "descriptions":
Bootable flag:${!TAB}off, , Copy data from another partition, Delete the
partition, Done setting up the partition
Note that the first key "25divider" is not matched in the descriptions!
I suspect that that is the root cause of the OOM.
This means we have two bugs:
- partman does not build the fields correctly when the first (valid)
option is a divider
- cdebconf throws a major fit if the number of "keys" (choices-C)
and "descriptions" (choices) do not match
