Title:
  LiveCD partitioner uses megabytes exclusively

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  In the livecd partitioner (which i think is ubiquity), it shows all partition sizes in megabytes, even where gigabytes would be a more appropriate unit.

  Im aware that using gigabytes or larger units would sacrifice
  precision, so maybe it should use the most appropriate unit by default
  (eg gigabytes for a 246,924mb partition, terrabytes for a 83,691,602mb
  one etc) but give the user the option to switch to a different unit?
