Bug#475908: please support MBR+GPT hybrid partition tables
package: partman
severity: wishlist
On mutliboot intel based macs the normal partition table type is a
MBR+GPT hybrid. Currently when used with such a partition table partman
destroys the MBR parition table causing bootloader installation to fail
and thus making installing debian on such machines considerablly more
complex.
It would be very helpfull to have proper support for this type of
partition table in partman. It would also be usefull to ask the user of
an intel based mac with a plain GPT parition table if they would like to
convert to MBR+GPT hybrid.
