[Bug 1049603] [NEW] Ubiquity tries/asks user to unmount the install media when installing from USB key

[Jonathan Ernst]

Public bug reported:

Present in at least 12.04 and 12.10 when installing using a USB key.

Installer asks if it can unmount /dev/sdb1 before the partitioning step
which is confusing.

Installer should know it's running from there and not ask user this
question.
