Bug#570410: partman-base: Please default to GB
Package: partman-base
Version: 137
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
if one partitions and neglects to add a suffix partman falls back
to use megabytes. noticed on a goofed installed where debootstrap
failed due to full disk. better default to gigabytes these days.
said root had 34 MB instead of 34 GB.
