Ok, will add something. The current scheme is :
oldpmac & newpmac -> pmac
chrp_pegasos -> amiga (altough mbr is also supported)
chrp-rs6k -> mbr (at least it seems so)
chrp & prep -> no idea.

Ok, so i should create a partman-pegasos package, with some debconf info

There is no mkfs.affs yet, so i either need to package Roman Zippels
affstools, or implement affs fs creation in libparted. I will probably
go for the second.
