  unmount_busy prompt not working properly

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:

  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I am using feisty beta (Hmmm, the one downloadable here:
  http://www.ubuntu.com/news/Ubuntu704Beta). My partition table:

  $ sudo fdisk -l

  I configured the partitioning manually and assigned /dev/sdb6 to /
  (formating) and /dev/sdb2 to /home. I mounted partitions while looking
  for fstab, through nautilus and forgot to umount /dev/sdb2. (Actually
  nautilus didn't mention I could umount, but I was umounting my
  partitions anyway). When the system was just about to install (After
  pressing continue at step 7 of 7), ubiquity said: "/media/_home is
  mounted and busy" (I was with a doc open). And I closed the doc and
  umounted it, and then I pressed "continue" (It was saying: "ubiquity
  will try to umount"..). Then the installer just quits. No error
  message, etc. Maybe it was trying to umount a partition that is
  already umounted, I don't know.

  I was not very happy with this because now the manual partitioning is
  just slow (It re-reads the HD after every UI change..), I wonder why
  the partition manager changed, but there must be a good reason :).

  PS: Error messages are actually inacurate because a) I was installing
  in portuguese and b) I already closed the installer.. (it is
  installing now -- I just kept all partitions umounted when confirming
  the installation)
