Manual partitioning sizes are not honored at all

Manual partitioning doesn't honor the requested partition sizes and is leaving really weird gaps in between the configured partitions. I attempted to partition a 100GB vbox disk with a 10BG /, 2 GB of swap, and the rest under /srv (which partman/d-i told me was ~56GB or so). The partitioner ended up making / be 16GB and left a 16GB gap at the beginning of the disk. Here's what the resulting partition table looked like:

Disk /dev/sda: 107.4 GB, 107374182400 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 13054 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical / optimal IO): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000a1c66

   Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 2049 4096 16450560 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 4097 6144 16450560 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3 6402 12288 47287327+ 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 6402 12288 47287296 83 Linux

Here's a screenshot of how the installer had converted my 10GB /, 2GB swap, rest in /srv selections.
