Public bug reported:

Installing 12.04 from USB on someone's laptop, and they want to keep
their legacy windows install as dual-boot.

When I choose to "install ubuntu alongside them" it tells me I can
allocate disk space between the old OS and Ubuntu, and gives me a pretty
UI with a draggable-divider to allocate the space.  Unfortunately, it
doesn't tell me if Ubuntu is meant to be the left side or the right, and
I really have no way of guessing.  In the end I had to select 50/50,
even though that wasn't optimal.

Could we at least have a logo on the Ubuntu partition?
