Please do not insult free software developers when you have not
contributed yourself to the development (even if you have, this is
rude behaviour). This only risks to make us ignore your remarks and
send them to the waste bin.

I suggest you consider running the installer in expert mode as you're
obviously a deep expert of these thigns and choose to load the
"partitioner" and "partconf" udebs which, IIRC, do pretty much exactly
what you want.

But, anyway, installing on existing filesystems is not supported
because we don't want to guarantee that the installed system will work
if these filesystems already contain data.....which means that the
only supported way to do so would be installing on
existing....empty...filesystems.
