It appears that you either did not use the partitioning program included
in debian installer or did not use it correctly.
The partitioning program (partman) includes functionality to select and
set mountpoints (even wildly creative ones like you appear to be using;
why /mnt/(usr|home|var)???).
^^^^^
You can either use existing partitions or repartition; including
configuration of MD and LVM.
It also allows you to choose to either format or not format (and keep
existing data) a partition.
There should be no reason to "shell out" at this point, so there seems to
be no reason to honour your request.
Cheers,
FJP
