Bug#435767: debian-installer: inconsistent size abbreviations when partitioning



Package: debian-installer
Severity: minor

When d-i asks for the size of a partition, the blurb says that "K", "M"
and "G" are allowed as abbreviations, but the default size has a "GB"
appended to it.  (Or maybe it's the opposite -- you get the idea.)

Now, it would not surprise me one bit to learn that d-i is smart enough
to recognize both "G" and "GB" (and "GiB", I bet), but it'd be best to
consistently stick with one style.  Users love consistency.  :)
