Thinking about this a bit more, it probably wouldn't be *too* hard /
complex / dangerous to at least pre-populate custom part with the
appropriate 'special' partitions for your disk: i.e. run a restricted
version of autopart automatically when entering the custom part spoke,
which doesn't create the /boot and swap and / partitions, but just any
partitions required for booting or other special circumstances. I'll add
a comment to cmurf's bug...
