Package: installation-guide
Severity: minor

Hi,

I noticed what looks like an error in the Debian Installer manual for preseed files, specifically in the "Partitioning" section at:

https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/apbs04.en.html

The guide uses this line:

    d-i partman-partitioning/confirm_write_new_label boolean true

But based on testing and community recommendations, it seems the correct line should be:

    d-i partman/confirm_write_new_label boolean true

Using the version from the guide doesn't seem to have any effect during installation, and causes the installer to prompt for confirmation instead of continuing automatically.

Not sure if this changed recently or if it's just an old leftover, but I figured it might be helpful to fix it for others relying on the documentation for automated installs.

Thanks for all the work you do!

(AI is trash.)

Not a bug, closing accordingly.
