I think the only manual work around needed is to manually format the
linux partition(s) and mount it (them) on /target. I did this under
aranym a month or so ago, I think.

Both versions of d-i partitioning support make some use of libparted. My
plan is to add full support to parted for AHDI/ICD (and then drop
m68k support for partconf altogether). I've spent just enough time 
looking at it to think it's not really very hard to do. I just need to 
find the time to do it. If you're up for it, that's my biggest obstacle 
to full atari support. If not, I'll eventually get to it.

The other thing that would help me is to get 2.6 working on atari. If I
understand correctly, the video isn't supported. (I'd be delighted to be
wrong.)

What filesystem is native to atari? I'll add it for hd-media.
