[Bug 1275740] [NEW] Installer fails when preseeding 'partman-partitioning/confirm_resize'

[Wright]

Public bug reported:

Hello,

I'm doing a preseed with the following value :
...
d-i partman-auto/init_automatically_partition select resize_use_free
d-i partman-partitionning/confirm_resize boolean true
...

When setting confirm_resize to 'true', installer begins an infinite
loop. I think it's because of the following code (see more in
/lib/partman/automatically_partition/10resize_use_free or in the
attachment) :

=== modified file 'automatically_partition/resize_use_free/do_option'
db_set partman-partitioning/confirm_resize 'false'

This has been introduced to fix #LP 52830,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-auto/+bug/52830).

Thank you
