[Bug 1207209] [NEW] Ubiquity partitioner warns of resize when no resize requested

[Cefn]

Public bug reported:

Installing the Ubuntu Gnome Saucy Alpha 1. I found that after choosing
the existing ext4 partition for '/' (without choosing to resize or
format the drive), the partitioner warns something like 'changing the
size of partitions means the partitioner changes need writing to disk'.
This is despite the fact that no change in partition size has been
requested.

A workaround is to avoid clicking the 'Continue' button (I was scared to
think what would happen) but click the other button (possibly 'Return').
Then it succeeds in assigning the mount point anyway and you can
proceed.
