[ubuntu/karmic] partman-target 59ubuntu1 (Accepted)

partman-target (59ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
    - Use UUID= fstab syntax for all partitions if a UUID is available, and
      add a comment above each UUID to indicate the corresponding device at
      install time.
    - Disable automatic mounting of USB removable devices.
    - Don't use UUIDs in fstab for those device types that volumeid.postinst
      refuses to convert.
    - Mount CD-ROMs and floppies with 'exec'.
    - Use the path of the file associated with a loop device in /etc/fstab,
      rather than the filesystem's UUID or the loop device path.
    - Always set the loop option for loop devices.
    - Remove critical system files from the existing filesystem before
      installing.
    - Preserve the UID and GID of the initial user, if possible.  Requires a
      patch to user-setup.
    - Mount CD-ROMs and floppies with the "utf8" option by default.
    - Check that /media is on the root file system, since the installer
      relies on being able to mount things like /media/cdrom during
      installation.
    - Expand comment above each UUID-mounted partition, based on a suggestion
      by Daniel Pocock in Debian #509378.
    - Add a note about 'vol_id --uuid' to the top of /etc/fstab.
    - Fix disk_containing function to use its argument rather than relying
      on $dev.
    - Fix use of udevinfo rather than udevadm info when checking if a disk is
      USB.
    - Escape spaces, tabs, newlines, and backslashes in fstab according to
      the procedure described in getmntent(3).
    - Issue an error message if two file systems are assigned the same
      label.
    - Improve fstab comments for partitions without mount points (e.g. swap).
    - Rather than pretending that partitions have no longer been formatted
      after the partitioner is complete, reset their intended state from
      "format the partition" to "keep and use the existing data". This still
      solves the original problem reported in Debian bug #256090 while also
      stopping partitions from being needlessly reformatted if you go back to
      the partitioner after base system installation and then forward again.
    - Don't clear partitions or complain about them not being formatted if
      they've already been formatted by a previous partitioner run.
    - Introduce partman/mount_style (choices: traditional, label, uuid) to
      allow controlling how filesystems are mounted. Default this to uuid.
