Title:
  ubiquity runs time consuming dd command during installation without
  any feedback for the user

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  During installation `dd` runs for a long time (up to 10 or 30 minutes
  - depending on the machine). During the run there's no feedback for
  the user and he_she might assume that the installer is hanging.

  According to
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1439862 `dd`
  doesn't run during swap creation which leaves the question whether its
  run isn't intended at all or whether feedback needs to be improved
  only.
