I have to mention that I hesitated some time before closing the bug. 

Friedemann took care of reporting the issue so I didn't want to sound
rude though I indeed think that the issue may be more minor than
Friedemann imagined.

In my opinion, users who may want to re-use existing partition are
most often clever enough for finding a way to do what they want.

However, we can imagine that choosing the "Use existing free space"
choice in partman-auto could trigger the choice of re-using one of the
existing partitions.

There may be something to dig here...post-sarge..:-)
