Sven committed a patch to parted-server in r34986, which is marked as closing #353432. I'm not sure if this is actually related to #301668, but it looks as though it may be. Colin has reviewed the patch in r34986 and said that he does not think it will hurt anything, but he's also not sure if it will fix the issue. Last I heard Sven had not tested his patch, so I have no idea if prep support is now fixed or not. As Sven has now left the d-i team, I doubt that he will continue work on this. On IRC Sven indicated that he would expect palo partitions on hppa to have the same issue, but I was unable to reproduce his problem for palo. On hppa I have seen another issue with the palo partition. If I install Debian on a hard disk and later also install it on a second hard disk, the type of the palo partition on the first hard disk will be changed from palo (f0) to linux (83). Sven also commented that his patch is not really a solution, but more a workaround. I understood from him that the current use of flags (?) is not optimal and that better, more structural support for prep and palo partitions is still wanted and possibly requires changes in libparted.
