The UI has changed so this is no longer applicable.

Title:
  deselect use-entire-disk radio buttons when another autopartitioning
  option is selected

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Sorry to keep hammering away at the installer but

  Hurd 5  id  20070320  Feisty

  Installer
  Prepare disk space page
  Problem
    When you select
  Guided - use the largest continuous free space
  the last disk you selected under  the other option
  Guided  - use entire disk   is Highlighted (radio button selected)

  Details

  When you enter the 
    Prepare disk space Window
    the Default Selections are
     Guided - use entire disk
      and first disk avail has radio button selected
  So you select Next and go to step 6 and decide to
  go back and change the way things will be partitioned.

  Back on step 4 you select
    Guided - use the lartest continuous free space
    the First radio button (the default selection) under the
     'Guided - use entire disk'  option remains selected.
      This might lead user to think that the largest chunk of free space
      would be taken from that disk.
      I suspect that all the radio buttons under the previous 'Guided'
      option,  should be unselected at this time as
      the system will decide what disk has the largest chunk of free space.

  However, an enhancement might be
  Select
  Guided -use largest continuous free space
  and then allow the user to select which disk they want
  to search for the largest chunk of free space might be  a
  good idea, since as it is now the Installer selects the disk 
  for you.

  That idea just came rolling off my tongue.  Being and old
  developer myself I can just hear the chortles about such a
  suggestion, however, I am aware it is not as simple as my
  statement might lead one to believe.

  Anyhow, there is not really any logs associated with the problem
  so if I can help further let me know.

  The reason I keep hammering on the Installer is that I 
  signed up w/Henrik to test the ISO Installer
