Can this bug be targeted for 14.04.4?
The changes are contained w/in the partman-prep package, which affects only ppc64el/powerpc, and it looks like a scenario/path that hasn't been exercised often previously (haven't seen other bug reports). So, I suspect that, if tried at all previously, it'd be likely to fail (ie, this bug), so little there's little regression potential.
