disable partman from debian preseed
# Thanks to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1411273 for inspiration..
# But what a disgusting nasty hack! This prevents partman from running (and
# mounts /target, creates /target/etc/fstab). d-i just can't cope with
# installation to partitionless block device... which is disappointing,
# because partitions are pointless for pvlinux guests.
#
# The hack works by ... wait for it... spawning a little while/sleep 1 script,
# waits for the partman-base.postinst file to appear (the preseed/earl_command
# hook is too early, and the partman/early_command is too late). Once it
# appears we replace this with a bit more script which does what we wanted

Install VeraCrypt headless for scripted environments
#!/bin/sh
# It's a little insane this installer cannot be run headless, perhaps for license
# agreement reasons. This will fetch, verify and extract the binary into
# /opt/veracrypt/bin. Perhaps one day I'll help make cryptsetup understand
# veracrypt instead
