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

Jane, I did a bunch of retesting - going back as far as Oneiric live
CD's - and I think we're OK. Maybe more accurately we're where the
ubiquity spec says we should be:

https://docs.google.com/View?id=dfkkjjcj_101gnkrpg5v#2.10.2

I've recently been testing the alternate and netboot images for totally
unrelated reasons and the new ubiquity is certainly a departure from
that level of simplicity.

Title:
  Ubiquity chooses which drive to install to with no user input

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
