Change armel+dove automatic partitioning to use the uboot pseudo-filesystem
instead of ext2. (LP: #455713)

63. By Colin Watson on 2009-09-09

* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
  - Adjust default partition sizes for Ubuntu.
  - Accept autopartitioning automatically rather than showing
    choose_partition.
  - Drop priority of partman-auto/choose_recipe question to medium.
  - Offer resize_use_free autopartitioning method.
  - Add support for partman-auto/method=loop via partman-auto-loop.
  - Drop the bootable flag from i386/amd64 recipes; it can break existing
    Windows installations when autopartitioning only free space rather
    than a whole disk.
  - Remove explicit $primary{ } specifiers from standard recipes. We only
    need them to be primary if no other primary partitions exist already.
  - Make biggest_free respect the selection made in partman-auto/disk.
  - Exclude devices containing the installation medium from automatic
    partitioning.
  - Add armel/dove recipes.

* Added dove partman-auto support; dove is almost identical to kirkwood as
  it's a uboot based SoC and requires a dedicated boot partition. /boot as
  an ext2 partition may be replaced in the near future with a uboot
  partition type similar to how EFI is currently implemented for ia64.
  - Defaults for the /boot partition are 128M min, 256M max.

* Drop relatime from autopartitioning recipes; it's the default in Linux
  2.6.30.
* Only ensure that there is at least one primary partition after
  autopartitioning on partition tables that use extended partitions.

Add another 300MB to the amount of space we require to be left by
automatic resizing, to account for (a) growth in installation size, (b)
variable language pack sizes, and (c) increased memory sizes resulting
in upward pressure on swap partition sizes (LP: #361707).

Update Ubuntu-specific strings from Launchpad.

Exclude devices containing the installation medium from automatic
partitioning (LP: #347916). Requires partman-base 129ubuntu5 for this
change to work properly.
