Title:
  Cannot preseed manual partitioning mount points

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Normally, when one chooses manual partitioning, Ubiquity presents a
  disk configuration based on the current configuration. However no
  mount points are selected by default. We are attempting to preseed an
  installation that takes advantage of Ubiquity's "preserve home"
  functionality, where selecting an existing partition as root but not
  opting to format it will keep the existing home directory intact.

  If we could preseed the selection of a root mount point, we could
  completely automate this process, allowing for reinstalls and upgrades
  to be preseeded without user interaction.

  We're able to preseed the entrie rest of the installer without
  difficulty, but are stuck at the manual partitioning screen as it
  won't proceed until a mount point is selected.
