I think we have two options:

1) Default to method "regular"
If partman-auto/disk=/dev/* and partman-auto/method is not set, then 
default partman-auto/method to "regular".

2) Error out if no method set
If partman-auto/disk=/dev/* and partman-auto/method is not set, then show 
an error message and unset partman-auto/disk.

I somewhat prefer 1) as it gives some backwards compatibility and 2) 
probably would mean adding a new error message which is undesirable for 
RC2.
