[Bug 770711] Re: Prefers to install to USB rather than to HD

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: ubiquity
  
  Booting from the live CD with a persistent USB stick inserted, the
- installer recognizes the USB stick, prompts to unmount (probably should
- do this when the device is the persistent partition, however). The
- installer then defaults to installing to the USB stick. This can be
+ installer recognizes the USB stick, prompts to unmount (probably
+ shouldn't do this when the device is the persistent partition, however).
+ The installer then defaults to installing to the USB stick. This can be
  changed to the hard drive, but it's unclear why the USB stick would be
  the default: sorted by name, sda is before sdc, sorted by size 320GB is
  before 1GB. This is new behavior. This worked correctly last week,
  whereby not unmounting the persistent partition still defaulted to
  installing to the hard drive.
  
  This is with the ISO for amd64+mac from 20110425.2
