It is hard to tell, but it seems the current state is hardcoded
in different places:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-May/msg00068.html
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/linuxonibm/com.ibm.linux.z.lhdd/lhdd_r_console_sum.html
I think it would be better to make debian-installer smarter about
this since we will probably run into the same problem again with
a different architecture/driver.
