I kind of expected something like that, to be honest :) It sure gets complicated when the partition to keep is in the middle of the disk, but fortunately that case shouldn't happen. Also being able to automatically "protect" a partition could be also be useful on mips for SGI machines where a volume header must exist on the disk. Though I don't remember how this is handled by d-i, it's been like forever since I last ran d-i on an SGI. Anyway, one thing at a time; there are several levels of support we can provide, let's get something basic working first and build from there.
