Good to see such effort. I got too many packages listed on my
qa.debian.org page. :)

It might be a good idea to drop this one. Debian Edu used it before
partman became a usable alternative. For the Etch and Lenny release,
partman will be used by Debian Edu. I suspect the algorithms in
autopartkit are slightly better than the ones in partman, and it also
support automatically creating multiple LVM volumes and leaving some
LVM space unused, but neither of these features was enough for us in
Debian Edu to spend time maintaining autopartkit properly.

I would like to have these on my list still. I have some planned work
for making the installer automatically install hardware specific
packages depending on the detected hardware, and suspect it should be
done in one of these packages.

I am happy to see these go from my list of packages to track. :)
Happy hacking,
