 Justification: causes serious data loss 
  
 Dear Maintainer, 
  
 using debian-13.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso and choosing expert installer to 
 install 
 debian, the screens shown in attached pictures are displayed during the 
 partitioning stage of the installation. 
  
 On the first picture, you can see that partition #2 is the /boot partition. 
  
 On the second picture, a WARNING is presented to the user, asking for 
 confirmation that the presented partitions will be formatted, erasing all 
 data 
 on them. The /boot partition is missing from the confirmation screen, 
 however 
 it too will be formatted. 
  
 This can lead to critical data loss if the user expects the confirmation 
 screen 
 to list everything that will be erased.
