Bug#778922: Installer hangs during disk formatting



Hi all,

Thomas Neugebauer <sidewinder9m@gmx.de> (2016-09-01):
> I've had the same Problem when installing Debian a few days ago. I

This is likely the same problem as reported in #767682, which was fixed
in stretch but not backported to jessie yet. I've added this to my to-do
list for the 8.9 point release.
