- auto.d/initial_auto: If partman-auto/method is preseeded and
partman-auto/disk is not but there is only one disk, act as though
partman-auto/disk had been preseeded to that disk. This simplifies a
number of preseeding scenarios complicated by the removal of devfs
path support.
That change was made post-etch.
So, this will make it work w/o modification for users with 1 disk (and it
will prompt > 1):
