Comments/Problems:

There's a known issue [0] installing over ssh on a 1GB hard drive in low
mem. Without a big enough swap partition the ssh daemon goes out of
memory creating the root fs, disconnecting the user.

Moreover, trying to login again to resume the installation, partman hangs
doing:
 cd /var/lib/partman/devices/=dev=mtdblock0
 open_dialog DUMP

(from /lib/partman/init.d/35dump)

BTW, besides from this issue, the installation was perfect, congrats for
the really fine job.

I've been able to complete the installation twice, the first time with a
128M swap partition, and now even with a smaller one, as suggested by
Otavio [1], just 96M.

The partman-auto reciepe for "put everything in one partition" creates a
swap area of around 80M, which are not enough; I'd suggest to raise the
default size, maybe only if in low-mem.
