(I don't know which package the debian installation belongs to)

I just found out that on an entirely new disc, without a partition
table, installation is stymied.

what about

if cfdisk $cdfiskparams; then
  cfdisk -z $cfdiskparams
fi

or something in the script, i.e., if cfdisk can't read partition table,
try a new partition table.

You should actually check for the right error code...
