[Bug 1847944] Re: partman-auto 134ubuntu11 prevents installation from recovery partition

>I wonder if disks is preseeded or not.

Yes, a script detects the disk to install to, but it essentially ended up as:
d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda

that ppa, and see if the autoinstall stuff still works correctly.

This will take a little effort to get slipstreamed into the test
environment.  I'll let you know.

Yes: 
d-i partman/filter_mounted boolean false

has been preseeded.

Bug description:
  Partman-auto 134ubuntu11 added a new check to try to resolve bug
  1845571 but in doing so, broke OEM installation from hard disk.

  OEM installation from hard disk will place the ubuntu ISO image into a
  recovery partition and boot from that to install.  It is preseeded
  such that the free space will use an expert recipe to install into.

  Reverting changes from 134ubuntu11 back to 134ubuntu10 fixes OEM
  installation again.
