Comments/Problems:

I started the network installer through GRUB in the Amazon Elastic Comptuter
Cloud, and connected to it through a network console launched via preseeding.

I gave a couple of details on my website: http://charles.plessy.org/Debian/debiâneries/nuage/

While the detection of hard drives apparently went well (see attached
partman log), the partition step fails with the following error.

Despite being in expert mode with ‘low’ Debconf priority, the above is
the only thing I get at the Partition disks step.  I need to press Escape
to return to the main menu, as otherwise it loops.

I tried to format the virtual drive on its first partition or without
partitionning, but it did not make a difference.

Do you have any idea ?

By the way, this is the first time I made such an advanced usage of the installer
and I must say that I am very impressed.

Have a nice day,
