* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
  - Ubiquity integration: If PARTMAN_NO_COMMIT is set, then exit rather
    than running commit.d and finish.d scripts; add a partman-commit
    script; dump extra information to /var/lib/partman/snoop if
    PARTMAN_SNOOP is set; check for per-menu 'no_show_choices' file in
    ask_user and don't reshow the menu if it exists.
  - Don't skip over dmraid devices if the user chooses not to activate
    them.
  - If the only thing mounted on a disk is the installation medium and it
    uses more or less the whole disk, then silently exclude that disk; if
    the installation medium is mounted but doesn't use the whole disk,
    issue a warning that partitioning may be difficult; if anything else
    is mounted, offer to unmount it. partman/filter_mounted=false disables
    this.
  - Use ext4 as the default filesystem for new partitions.
  - Build with -O2 on powerpc to avoid a suspected toolchain bug.

Fix link line ordering to avoid breaking with 'ld --as-needed'.

  - Expand the small gap we leave at the end of the disk to avoid MD
    superblock ambiguity so that it correctly covers the region where
    ambiguity might arise. The previous gap was insufficient on disks
    that were between 512 and 65535 bytes larger than a multiple of
    1048576 bytes.

* Remove cleanup trap in partman-commit, whose only effect is to break
  repeated runs of partman-commit (LP: #536673).

89. By Colin Watson on 2010-04-20

Don't apply optimal alignment to extended partitions (LP: #558382).

88. By Colin Watson on 2010-04-15

Update Ubuntu-specific translations from Launchpad.

87. By Colin Watson on 2010-04-12

* Ignore free space smaller than the grain size of the partition creation
  constraint, rather than only free space smaller than a cylinder.
* Allow preseeding partman/alignment to "cylinder", "minimal", or
  "optimal"; "cylinder" restores old alignment behaviour for the benefit
  of those with crotchety BIOSes, while "optimal" is the default.
