Yes, as I've said before, partconf has to exit with nonzero exit code in
this case, since it must not be marked as configured by udpkg and
main-menu, because... it isn't configured. What we need, is a way to
distinguish "failure" and "backed out", since this also applies to the
<go back> button.

I propose to use a standard exit code for this, I'm not sure what udpkg
has to do... How will udpkg mangle the return code from the script into
what it returns itself? It would be good if it could propagate so
main-menu can see what has happened. In debconf, this is 30, and that's
what partconf returns, I think that's a good choice.
