Public bug reported:
The "Force UEFI Install" warning that shows up when installing in UEFI
mode on a system booted in Legacy mode (and in other cases), is worded
confusingly given the choices presented to the user "Go Back" and
"Continue".
Continue appears to add /var/lib/partman/ignore_uefi which causes
further scripts trying to do EFI things to not do them --
Go Back appears to correctly go back to the recipe selection screen, but
further attempts would be EFI again.
I'm thinking this should be reversed so that "Continue" would be
"Continue in UEFI mode" and not write out /var/lib/partman/ignore_uefi,
and "Go Back" to "Start over in Legacy mode" or some other such wording.
