And what do you think i am trying to do since a couple of hours ? Getting the
box up, and trying to investigate the raid stuff, reading through the partman
spagetti code, and so on.

Do you also read what i wrote ? you asked that i look at
/lib/partman/recipes.sh, which is a d-i thingy, but i can't reboot the box
right now, so i want to look at the actual code, doing the selection, to see
if i can find something in it, is it so difficult to say :

  recipes.sh is in partman-auto ?

would it not have cost much less time and energy to say just that, and not the
full-cap message above ? 

Please calm down, how can we ever work together, if you jump to agressive
conclusions all the time ?
