[14:41] <Md> the same partman recipe that I use for Debian 8 and Ubuntu 14.04, with Ubuntu 16.06 creates an extented partition instead of a primary one. How can I fix this? http://www.bofh.it/~md/partman.txt
[14:47] <Md> also, now the two partitions are in a different order: swap is the second one on disk
[16:13] <xnox> Md, because 16.06 does not exist.
[16:13] <xnox> i guess you mean 16.04 LTS
[16:14] <xnox> and 16.04 LTS got significantly newer partman components that do behave differentely and prefer logical partitions more aggresively.
[16:14] <xnox> Md, i'd recommend to just preseed/specify gpt partition table, and then all partitions will be essentially the same/primary.
