Comments/Problems:
Every time we are trying to install Debian on a pre-formatted system which had XFS-Partitions the harddisk-partitioner fails.
it is still not possible to delete an old xfs-partition by choosing it!
the only way than is to change to another tty and delete the old partition there with fdisk.
strange enough, that works!
