Definitely not in:

if log-output -t partman --pass-stdout \
  mkfs.$filesystem $device $usage >/dev/null; then
    sync
    status=OK
  else
    status=failed
fi

No harm done, though, installed the rest by hand for now and got a booting
system with kernel 4.3.3. That's more than I could say last year ;-)

I'll keep it available for further tests,
HTH,
Uli
