I don't really see where is your problem : you mention that D-I sees the whole disk as free space. But is there already something that it should see? From your bug report, it's unclear. As you mentioned that you installed squeeze on that machine earlier, I guess there is something on the disk, certainly, of course. It would be interesting to have the D-I logs when this is happening but you probably can't do that anymore. Not sure what to do with the bug report..:-)
