This isn't a ubiquity bug (it does not affect the desktop installer), so
I've removed that task which was added recently. Depending on the
decision taken on ubuntu-devel, I'll add tasks to this bug as necessary;
there's no need to do so in advance.
** No longer affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu)

Biosdevname auto enabled on Dell HW

Bug description:
On Ubuntu server *only* the Ubuntu installer needs to automatically
determine if the system being installed is a Dell "PowerEdge" server
and if so, biosdevname gets enabled by default. If not, biosdevname
is not used. One option is to use 'dmidecode -s system-product-name'
to detect this.
Additionally, there should be a manual bypass of biosdevname by
passing biodevname=0 to the boot prompt.
