Information in the bug log aren't that clear (except that, yes,
original logs are gone...but please understand Miguel is currently
doing bug triage, which is a very tedious task, where it happens that
one misses some points)

"I had to reinstall, load parted.udeb
and switch to the console to manually define properly alligned
partitions."

What parted.udeb did you load?

From what you mention, it seems that you picked unstable's parted udeb
and manually installed it and then things worked as you expect. Is
that right?

However, parted had very few updates since the D-I beta2 this
installation report was sent for. The version was 2.3-4 and only -5
was released since then with no apparent change related to these
issues.

I can understand this machine is not available for reinstall, but
maybe is it still avaiulable for an install *test*, up to the point
where things are committed to the disk. That should be enough to see
whether the installer aligns partitions the way you expect.
