That looks like a copy-paste error. I didn’t refer to any particular
release.

Title:
  No explanation on partitioning screen of why dual-booting option isn't
  available

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  If there is not enough space on a disk to install Ubuntu alongside the
  operating systems already present, the installer hides that option.

  This is good, but it may leave people who were expecting that option
  (such as people who have read the CD cover!) wondering why it isn't
  there.
