Bug#1065048: installation-reports: partition tool in d-i remembers choices; 'delete partition' (encrypted Part.) always stays 'yes'

eth* names are no persistent and may change at any boot.
But ethernet interface should get predictable names like enpXsY or enoX.
In /proc/interrupts we can see enp1s0.
randomized encrypted partitions default to 'delete partition' 'yes';
after choosing 'no' the first time it should default to 'no'
By "randomized" do you mean "plain dm-crypt with random key" ?
The only choice of extended filesystems to format the randomized
encrypted partition with is ext2, which the d-i writes to /etc/fstab.
But the d-i actually formats to ext4, so I end up in emergency mode on
reboot
the d-i also misses to write the 'tmp' parameter for the randomized
encrypted ext4 formatted partition in /etc/crypttab
These two remind me of Bug#995108 ("d-i: partman-crypto: plain dm-crypt
device management issues").

I had submitted a patch but received no feedback so far.
