partman-* is of course fine for udebs shipping partman stuff, but
depthcharge-support-installer strikes me as something that could be
named depthcharge-support-udeb, or maybe just depthcharge-udeb?

(Unfortunately I don't have any time to review this more thoroughly to
figure out exactly which part does what etc., but I thought sending
this quick note wouldn't hurt.)
