Bug#399805: partman: ability to run outside of d-i

[Matt Taggart <taggart@debian.org>]

Package: partman
Version: 63
Severity: wishlist

I had a user ask me the other day if it was possible to run the d-i 
partitioning tool after the install to setup additional disks. I told him I 
didn't think so and asked why he didn't use parted or gparted. He replied that 
this was on his server(so no graphics libs installed) and that he really 
preferred the d-i interface anyway. That seemed like a reasonable answer to me.

So that's what you get for doing such a good job on the partitioner :)

This is a wishlist request for the d-i partitioner to be made to run 
stand-alone outside of d-i on the normal system.

(This might also be nice for other things that d-i does as well, joeyh 
mentions that kamion did this already for user-setup.)

Thanks,
