Title:
  Ubiquity fails to reinstall previous installed packages

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce :
  - get Ubuntu 13.10 (i386) installed
  - boot on Ubuntu 14.04 (x64) live usb
  - choose "other" in install type, and choose Ubuntu 13.10 as /, without formating
  - install

  Results :
  - wait several minutes (5 to 10) that something save the previous installed packages
  - wait some minutes (2 to 5) the normal installation
  - wait additional minutes (2 to 5) that ubiquity fails to reinstall any of the previous installed packages

  Expected results :
  - get the selection of packages quickly (1 minute max)
  - detect if the is a arch incompatibility (32 versus 64 bits)
  - or remove the useless function if it doesn't work in any cases.
