No, unfortunately that's still not possible due to the parted udeb
lacking the necessary patches (those are mostly already integrated in
parted upstream but not in Debian):
 http://bugs.debian.org/440675
I don't think we see this in time for lenny but if not I intend to
provide netinst images externally.
Cheers and sorry for the inconvenience,

P.S.: you can of course build your own netinst images with a patch
parted
