Debian installer: partman-prep

Hi I've prepared a partman-prep package which should add support for PPC PReP boot partitions to the installer. The package has been forked from partman-palo. Now, short before testing, I'm wondering about the mechanism which takes care about loading this module. I've grep'ed through the com
