I haven't had the time to test your patch yet, but there's a hack I'd
like to share to test things in d-i without rebuilding anything.

Create a preseed file (say preseed.cfg) with the following line:

d-i partman/early_command string wget https://example.org/partman-base-vincent.sh -O /lib/partman/lib/base.sh

Upload the preseed file to a webserver, say https://example.org/preseed.cfg,
and your patched base.sh to https://example.org/partman-base-vincent.sh.

When booting the installer, pass the following to the kernel command
line:

 preseed/url=https://example.org/preseed.cfg

Just in case you want to give it a try.
