Title:
  partition resizing UI breaks me every time

Status in “partman-partitioning” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: debian-installer

  Twice now, I've done netboot installs of Feisty and the resize an
  existing partition UI has broken me.  It brings up a page, I can't
  remember all it says, but the input box is definitely 'New partition
  size: '.  Reading that and the rest of the page, I assumed that meant
  'how big do you want the new partition that you're creating for Ubuntu
  to be?', in fact what it means is 'how big do you want the existing
  partition to be after it's been resized?'.  This is horribly non-
  obvious, and I don't think it's just me as I tested a random cow-orker
  and he failed  the UI test in the same way I did.
