These three numbers are

<limits>::=<minimal size>_<priority>_<maximal size>_<parted fs>

(from
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/debian-installer.git/tree/doc/devel/partman-auto-recipe.txt)

So here you are increasing the minimum size of the root partition for
all debianhvm domains (including non-nested ones and L2 guests) from 5G
to 10G.

Did you test this with a normal L1 debianhvm guest (not one destined to
be an L1 host). i.e. using test-amd64-amd64-xl-qemuu-debianhvm-amd64 ?

The new size you have given is the same size as the entire disk in that
case. I'm not sure what will then happen...

Perhaps "5000 50 -1 ext4" does what you need, namely leaves the minimum
alone and sets the maximum to unlimited, which I think will end up
making this partition as big as the disk less the configured swap space.
