[Bug 1845571] Re: ubiquity offers installation media as an install target

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

For the dell usecase, the expection is to "use free" or "wipe Ubuntu FOO
and reinstall", meaning that only free space is used or an existing
Ubuntu partition is wiped & reinstalled.

Meaning that the full device /dev/sdb (the install media) is not offered
for install target.

The only time we do support wiping and installing ont hte full /dev/sdb
which we booted from, is when casper was booted with toram option. In
which case yes, it's expected to wipe the disk one booted from.

Bug description:
  I guess this is actually a bug in some partman component, but well. In
  both the desktop and ubuntu studio installers for eoan beta, I was
  offered the installation media as a target disk. This seems unlikely
  to be correct.
