* init.d/parted: Use more concise syntax for building up lists.
* Rewrite handling of mounted partitions. 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 (LP: #347916); 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.
* Note that partman/filter_mounted preseeding is no longer supported, as
its main use was to cope with the case of the installation medium being
mounted and that's now handled explicitly. If you need to stop questions
being asked, preseed partman/unmount_active and/or
partman/installation_medium_mounted as appropriate.
* I had to break the string freeze. Sorry.
