Comments/Problems:
Creating partitions with partman in the graphical install causes random
crashes with Gtk errors about assertion failures. partman restarts with
a set of unpartitioned disks, making it impossible to ever finish
partitioning. I filed another bug for that one. Text install seems to
create partitions fine, but RAID fs creation hangs.
