Title:
  Custom Mount Points removed, causing user confusion

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Use case:
  I maintain two partitions on my computer, one for OS and one for data.

  Expected behavior:
  Previous versions of the ubuntu installer would allow me to keep my existing partition table and to mount the OS partition as "/"  and my data partition to anything I want (in this case "/media/data").

  Actual behavior:
  After upgrading from 10.04 to 11.04 (full reinstall) I tried to keep this scheme.  Unfortunately I could not set a custom mount point and not knowing the consequences associated with any of the listed mount points, I left it blank.

  Unfortunately this gives me a warning that the partition will remain
  unmounted.  Once the install was done I looked through the system
  settings to try and fix this (without going to fstab).  Disk utility
  to the rescue!  That unfortunately was not lasting persisted across
  boots.

  This is quite a silly restriction without an end-user available
  solution that I assume would work fine if I had two separate hard
  drives which shouldn't make a difference.
