There is some message truncation during the phase of partition setup where a

Disclaimer: I know nothing about GTK.

In source package cdebconf, file src/modules/frontend/gtk/progress.c, function create_progress_label(), the information text is displayed below the progress bar with a GTKentry widget type which is a single line text entry widget according to <https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/class.Entry.html>. The text is not really truncated, you can drag and scroll it with the mouse.

I guess that in order to wrap, the information text should be displayed with a different widget type which supports multiline text.
