Okay I'm relieved to read that Debian seems to align at least the first partition correct on sector 2048:
root@debian606x86-1:~# fdisk -lu
Disk /dev/sda: 10.7 GB, 10737418240 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1305 cylinders, total 20971520 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00055c70
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 2048 684031 340992 83 Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2 686078 20969471 10141697 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 686080 8030207 3672064 83 Linux

But that's only half the story because as you can see I got the message that partition 1 does not end with a correct alignment. I used the wizard to create the partitions, however something went wrong. I think I've to search for a possibility to take care of that problem and to create the partitions by myself but I encountered that the partition window during the installation don't give me the possibility to create partitions using MiB instead MB and using MB ends in the same problem with misaligned partitions I guess...
Thx & Bye Tom
