Title:
  insists on unnecessary alteration of target partition

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Installation blocked by requirement of partition write access,
  although the partition table is already set up correctly.   This may
  be related to ticking the "format" checkbox.

  Use case:
  Advanced user / developer; frequent test installs of RCs and betas to a secondary partition on my main drive.  Prefer to install via grub loopback from a boot-iso partion, to improve install speed and to avoid burning use-once install media.  Obviously cannot unmount the boot-iso partition to permit the unnecessary partition change.

  This report is possibly related to #598743, but is not restricted to
  Xubuntu, still applies to 10.10, and with a more compelling
  explanation of severity and applicability.
