Bug#857064: debian-installer: Can't list partition types in fdisk



Hi,

I'm not sure where this comes from, since list_types doesn't seem to be
calling any external pager. But there's maybe something wrapping around
the output more globally. Only looked briefly at util-linux/fdisk.c, and
you can pretend I don't know anything about busybox anyway…
