Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

choosing the 'manual' partitioning option in ubiquity, partman gets
itself into an infinite loop before displaying the partition list.  If I
kill it off and run it by hand from the console, I see error messages on
stderr about udpkg and anna-install being missing, which may explain the
infinite loop.

The udpkg calls are only used for querying the architecture with
--print-architecture, so ubiquity can probably get away with shipping
udpkg as a symilnk to dpkg.  The anna-install calls need to be bypassed
altogether, since we can't install udebs in the liveCD environment.  It
looks like bundling partman-lvm in ubiquity might be enough to get
around this so that anna-install doesn't get called?
