Bug#475903: creates GPT when disk is > 2 TB rather than > 2 TiB
Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
Partman opts for GPT when installing on a disk larger than 2 TB (2 * 10^12 B),
even though the limit for DOS partition map is 2 TiB (2^32 * 512 B).
This can be easily reproduced with qemu:
qemu-img create -f qcow test.img 2047G
