[Bug 964331] [NEW] Ubiquity chooses which drive to install to with no user input

Public bug reported:

I was testing Precise beta 2 live ISO, using the "Install Ubuntu
alongside" option.

I have two internals drives, and both of them have other systems on
them.

Ubiquity didn't ask me to choose which drive. I got a message to the
effect that it was installing to /dev/sdb but NO "Are you sure?" It just
went ahead and started installing. The only way to stop that seems to be
to reboot.

I would expect the user to be able to check that everything is OK before
proceeding.
