I do not know about others, but I have not tested with any local build. 
I only may have tested with the mini.iso generated by salsa CI.

If circular dependencies in udebs are an issue, then IMO partman-base

which other partman-* udebs depend on, and one providing the main-menu 
entry which depends on other partman-* udebs.
