Dear Maintainer,

The firmware/bootloader in ChromeOS machines only attempts to boot from 
partitions of a certain GPT partition type. Please cherry-pick my commit 
08256913c307e0313ee014e0f292fa335cc18f1d from upstream [1], which adds 
support for it.

I've managed to get debian-installer working on my chromebook and I'm 
trying to upstream my changes. Part of that work is enabling partman to 
create these partitions (see my partman-cros [2]), which requires 
libparted2-udeb to understand this flag, so I've added the 'd-i' tag.
