Title:
  11.04 does not allow to specify an arbitrary mount point at install

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  All other installs allowed to do this, but now it stopped working:

  To reproduce.
  Start the installation for 11.04
  Select the manual partitioning of the harddrive when prompted.
  Create a partition for the later use of another operating system (maybe another distribution)
  Try to select the mount point something like /other/debian

  What happens:
  You cannot type the mount point yourself, you can only select from a few options, none of which suit what you want to do.
  You cannot even select some arbitrary one in order to change the fstab later on. Because that would actually damage that partition if something already resides there.

  What i expect to happen:
  I expect to be able to select arbitrary mount points at startup.
