This bug was fixed in the package partman-auto - 87ubuntu1

---------------
partman-auto (87ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
    - Adjust default partition sizes for Ubuntu.
    - Accept autopartitioning automatically rather than showing
      choose_partition.
    - Drop priority of partman-auto/choose_recipe question to medium.
    - Offer resize_use_free autopartitioning method.
    - Add support for partman-auto/method=loop via partman-auto-loop.
    - Drop the bootable flag from i386/amd64 recipes; it can break existing
      Windows installations when autopartitioning only free space rather
      than a whole disk.
    - Remove explicit $primary{ } specifiers from standard recipes. We only
      need them to be primary if no other primary partitions exist already.
    - Make biggest_free respect the selection made in partman-auto/disk.
    - Exclude devices containing the installation medium from automatic
      partitioning.

  * Add support for writing sizes as a number plus a percentage of RAM, e.g.
    "2000+50%". This is useful when doing automatic partitioning with the
    expectation of creating swap files.
  * If we're creating primary partitions and find that we've reached the end
    of the recipe, use "full" rather than "beginning" as the place passed to
    NEW_PARTITION, thereby avoiding rounding problems and matching the
    process for creating logical partitions (closes: #516347, LP: #287571).
