Partman needs to stop using non-breaking spaces. I thought I had this fixed,
but Anton put the non-breaking spaces back in:
- definitions.sh (debconf_select): convert the first space in the
options to non-break space as otherwise the default options is
ignored if it starts with space.
I think the default option may need to have the leading space escaped so
it looks the same as what is in the choices list. So you'd have:
Choices: \ a, \ b, \ c
Default: \ b
I probably did not think this through well enough when I was adding the
escaped spaces fix to cdebconf, but I think that will work.
I'm upgrading this bug to important, as it makes installation ugly and
difficult on all arches that need a serial console, as well as any laptop
where the frame buffer does not work.
