It works the same for the Woody, Sarge, Etch and Lenny installers.
It skips the following question by pre-selecting the manual method:
Partition disks
---------------
The installer can guide you through partitioning a disk (using
different standard schemes) or, if you prefer, you can do it
manually. With guided partitioning you will still have a chance
later to review and customise the results.
If you choose guided partitioning for an entire disk, you will
next be asked which disk should be used.
Partitioning method:
1. Guided - use entire disk
2. Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM
3. Guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM
4. Manual

I don't understand this sentence. The partman-base package is
installed (selected?) for me, too: it's what ask the above question.

The above paste is from a Lenny installer session, fwiw. Please
clarify, and I'll try to help.
