Bug#385219: partman: Support leaving unused space after partitioning
The bug reports #297201 and #385219 are related, and perhaps should be
merged. The first is about having support for leaving unused space
behind with partman-auto, and the second is the same for
partman-auto-lvm.
In Debian Edu (debian-edu-install), we implemented a workaround by
creating a partition debianedufreespace using a partman recipe, and
then adding code in post-base-installer.d/10debian-edu-profile-udeb to
remove it after partitioning (did not find any hooks just after
partitioning, so ended up doing it after debootstrap was done).
It would be great if partman supported this natively. Then we could
get rid of some code in debian-edu-install. :)
Happy hacking,
