Sergei: No, you have described the problem incorrectly. partman does not assign device names at all. The kernel assigns device names, and for a variety of reasons it pays essentially no attention to the boot order configured in your BIOS. Any software that assumes that Linux device ordering corresponds to BIOS boot ordering is wrong and should be corrected.

Regarding scp: run 'anna-install openssh-client-udeb' and you'll get scp.

As of last month, grub-installer should ask whether GRUB should be installed to a default location or somewhere else. If you're not seeing this, I need logs to understand why. For best results, the logs should be generated from an installation attempt in which DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer was added as a boot parameter.
