I am not sure if this is your problem, but you are missing a partition
with a high maximal size. According to the partman-auto docs:

Due to limitation of the algorithms in partman-auto, there must be at
least one partition with high maximal size so that the whole free
space can be used.  Usually you can give the partition containing
/home a maximal size 1000000000 which is high enough for the present
storage devices. [1]
