I would like to work on two things for beta3 though:
 - use of aligned columns in partman,
 - integration of a terminal in the graphical installer through VTE.

I have started to work on both a while ago.  The first would be, IMHO, a
great improvement to the graphical installer usuability and I'd like to
focus on this in the following weeks.

The changes required are touching essential parts of partman [1] and
will require testing though.
