Actually, I would say the ubiquity bug is that it raises
InstallStepError and triggers apport, instead of telling the user
politely and informatively that it was not able to install the boot
loader, and move on.

Title:
ppc: YabootInstaller doesn't handle USB drive installation so well
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in “yaboot-installer” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Just the "Installation Complete" dialog was left hanging, otherwise
things looks fine. Apport made me file this bug. Installation of
yaboot failed, because I am installing to an external USB drive which
does not have any AppleBootstrap partition. I will boot yaboot from
openfirmware anyway.
I did not attach the debug log because I was warned that it contains
my password. Is that true? I could not find it in syslog or
installer/debug.
