There are a variety of ways that partman udebs in unstable could change things in d-i: - They could fail to be installed proprly by anna, and break the install of the rest of the udebs somehow. - They could have menu-items numbers that made them be used before partconf, again throwing off d-i testing. - They could make more memory be used by the installer, so attempts to see, for example, how much memory is needed on some arch and document it for beta 2 would be thrown off. - Probably several other things I have not thought of. If you need to upload them somewhere, figure out a way to use experimental or an exterior apt repository. The risk of destabalising the other arches progress toward beta2 is not worth an upload to unstable. -- see shy jo
