  selecting 'new partition table' confuses the partitioning

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  If you do manual partitioning on dove and select 'new partition
  table', the uboot partition you try to create for booting gets
  confused about it's mountpoing.  I told it to mount as /boot, but when
  it returned to the partitioning screen, it said it was going to be /
  instead.  If I delete it and do it again, this time it says it's going
  to be /home (even though I selected /boot again)

  If you delete the partitions manually instead of wiping the partition
  table, then it does not exhibit this behavior.

  A possible workaround for this, is to delete it, and select ext2 as
  the partition type instead of uboot.  This should still be able to
  boot fine, and does not seem to suffer the same problem as when you
  select uboot type.
