I've gotten confused using partman several times, and ended up with
unusable free space because I had too many primary partitions. I think a
simple change can make it much harder to mess this up.
Let me explain the most recent time I messed up. I created a root I
understand that when the first partition is made, partman creates an
extended partition table after it automatically.
Next I created a second partition, for /home. It asked me if I wanted
the second partition to be primary or logical, but the default was
primary, and like a fool I took it. This meant that the logical
partition table was now unusable.
I went on to create more partitions, and ran out of primary partitions,
and could not make a logical one. So my mistake was back when I took the
default of primary for my /home partition. If it had instead defaulted
to logical, I would have used that, and done the same for my other
partitions, and not ran out of partition entries.
