This seems to work correctly now.

I performed a full installation of Dragora on a hard drive with the
following partition layout:

Device     Boot    Start       End   Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/sda1  *        2048  20973567  20971520   10G 83 Linux
/dev/sda2       20973568  23070719   2097152    1G 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3       23070720 156301487 133230768 63.5G 83 Linux

All partitions were detected correctly and no error was reported during
the installation process, except for fontconfig complaining about not
being able to write some cache. (I haven't managed to record the error
message yet.)

The newly installed system then booted without any problems.

I then performed another full installation of Dragora on the same
machine to see how the installer would react to the hard drive
partitions being formatted already. This all went as expected. I merely
made the installer re-format the root partition to be safe.

How would dragora-installer deal with an already formatted root
partition that contains files, by the way?
