true, but it refers you to partman-auto-recipe.txt which "appears" to
"cover your case of interest".

How so?
Perhaps is you gave an example of what you want preseed to do?
e.g. install /boot to sdb1 formatted as ext2, swapon sda2 and sdb2, / on
sdb3 formatted as ext4 noatime, /home on sda3 (no format, overwrite).
NOTE: conditional is possible also.
