Thank you very much.
This page led me to another page which told me that the Debian installer
uses parted for partitioning hard disks. I installed parted and it seems to
allows resizing of partitions so I now have the means to recreate my
previous layout. I still don't know why the Debian installer would shrink
the partitions in the first place but I guess it doesn't matter.
