I wonder if this really ought to be a hook, or if partman-auto should
just behave differently as standard? After all, in general if automation
fails we stop and present a dialog. Adding a hook for this seems like
overengineering; if the expert recipe fails, an error dialog seems
appropriate in general.
If you want to also prevent use of the standard recipes (since it does
still seem natural for partman-auto to fall back to them), you could
simply remove them; is this possible for you?
