  1. Can the fstab tab mount line generating script handle both the =  and :

I do not know if cdebconf supports "=" and ":" in item names (used to display option descriptions).

Also note that AFAIK partman does not currently support mutually exclusive options, so "compress" and "compress=zstd:1" would be treated as independent and non-conflicting options. Same with "discard", "nodiscard, "discard=sync" and "discard=async".

  2. How do I actually enable/preselect a mount option by default?

AFAIK partman does not currently supports this.

  3. Should we hide dangerous options like "nobarrier" by making them
  exclusive to expert mode? How?

AFAIK partman does not currently supports this. What about a "(DANGEROUS!)" comment in the option description ?
