Bug#1115117: debian-installer: Does not show all partitions that will be formatted, possible user data loss



Source: debian-installer
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss

Dear Maintainer,

using debian-13.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso and choosing expert installer to install
debian, the screens shown in attached pictures are displayed during the
partitioning stage of the installation.

On the first picture, you can see that partition #2 is the /boot partition.

On the second picture, a WARNING is presented to the user, asking for
confirmation that the presented partitions will be formatted, erasing all data
on them. The /boot partition is missing from the confirmation screen, however
it too will be formatted.

This can lead to critical data loss if the user expects the confirmation screen
to list everything that will be erased.
