Ahh! Found it!
debconf debconf/frontend select Gnome
I'll move this to my late_command.

If you rearrange it so that it's /boot swap /, it puts / in an extended.
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 31 248976 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 32 280 2000092+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/sda3 281 2213 15526822+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 281 2213 15526791 83 Linux
It looks like it wants to throw stuff into extended when you have more
than two. This isn't really a problem for me though, I'll just have to
make up an answer when people ask me about it. :)
