Use mkdosfs to create FAT filesystems, since libparted cannot handle
doing that on non-512-sector disks (LP: #1065281).

* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
  - If partman/automount is preseeded to true, automatically mount
    partitions with usefully-mountable filesystems on subdirectories of
    /media.
  - Add minimal support for NTFS partitions using ntfs-3g.
  - Mount FAT filesystems at boot (fstab pass 1).
  - Mount FAT (other than EFI System Partitions) and NTFS with
    umask=007,gid=46 (static group plugdev).
  - When formatting over the top of an existing swap partition, preserve
    its UUID to avoid leaving systems that use UUIDs in /etc/fstab without
    swap.
  - mount.d/basic: Close mount's fd 3 so that it doesn't inherit a debconf
    file descriptor, to prevent log-output hanging when ntfs-3g is in use.
  - Special case loopmounted filesystems as it's safer to format the
    underlying file, not the device.
  - Allow armel/omap to use FAT for /boot, since the problems with it can
    be worked around while it's difficult to use anything else given uboot
    limitations.
  - Stop using libparted to format swap partitions.
  - Disable existing swap partitions before formatting them.

Disable existing swap partitions before formatting them (LP: #905628).

43. By Colin Watson on 2011-12-15

Stop using libparted to format swap partitions. parted 3.0 doesn't
support this anyway, and I'm guessing that this may be the cause of
blkid sometimes not recognising the swap partition during installation
(LP: #709363).

  - If partman/automount is preseeded to true, automatically mount

    refraining from checking ext3 and ext4 filesystems using libparted for
    the same reason.

Revert changes in 63ubuntu6, since method=efi filesystems don't have an
acting_filesystem. Responsibility for mounting /boot/efi now lies with
partman-efi.
