There is no real difference between pre-installation and disk / cfdisk, and all post-partitions are as usable as pre-install work.
Why question it? If you are interested in what I see as unnecesary partitions, just do it.
You are asking the wrong person. I quit worrying about pre-partitioning a 15 years ago because there is no reason to do it anymore. The installer gives the user all that person requires.
If you really care, please email Adam Williamson for a more complete explanation.
