Could you please provide a partman log from a d-i run that fails to do
this? (It should be in /var/log/installer/partman after installation.)
As far as I knew I'd fixed all this a long time ago ...
Please note that partitions should be aligned to 1MiB or more on MBR
too. Regardless of the partition table format, cylinder alignment
hasn't been necessary for a decade or two now, and it produces
suboptimal performance on modern disks. There may of course still be
fdisk-style tools that are behind the times on this, but that's their
problem.
