[colug-432] debian partman-auto

[Rick Hornsby]

Having a bit of a hard time getting partman to work properly via a 
preseed file on debian 12.

Using `d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select multi` is the closest 
canned thing to what I want, and this works - sets up all the partitions 
according to that recipe -- so the preseed generally is working. Since 
I'm trying to build a server, I don't need /home to be separate or take 
up most of the disk.

The answer, as best I can tell is to use `d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe 
string` instead and create an inline recipe. There are no fatal (ie 
obvious) errors, but instead of ending up with /boot, /tmp, /var, and / 
- it's almost as if my recipe[1] gets ignored. The final result[2] 
almost looks like the canned atomic (basically one partition) recipe.

Any suggestions on debugging, capturing logs, or maybe something obvious 
I'm doing wrong?

thanks!
