Bug Description

I did an install using Daily 092305 and used the automatic repartitioner to
partition. It shrunk my FAT32 partition and then created a swap and a ext3
partition. However it did not add lines to my fstab for the FAT32, NTFS, or
other linux partitions. In previous installs using the manual partitioner it
automatically setup the other partitions to be mounted (these installer were
with previous versions).

Well, I can at least reproduce this here, which is a rarity among partman bugs.
:-) I'll see what I can do; it's probably specific to autopartitioning.

  * Add minimal support for NTFS partitions, so that they can be added to
    /etc/fstab automatically, have their mount point changed, etc. (closes:
    Ubuntu #14236, #16233).
