Title:
  [intrepid alpha6] You must know the format of your partition to enter
  the mount point

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Trying to install Ubuntu Intrepid Alpha 6.

  In the partition step, the new color are very pretty but,
  unfortunatly, not very intuitive and not useful at all. My collegua
  who was installing was unable to interpret it.

  Choosing manual partitioning because we already had partitions :

  In order to assign a mount point to a partition (/, /home, ...), you
  have to explicitely tell "Use this as ...EXT3".

  It's a bug because :

  - Most user don't want to know what EXT3 or anything else is.
  - The system already know the answer, he's listing it on the fancy color bar !

  I simply do not see the reason for this "use as..". The partition
  should be used if there's a mount point. The format should be listed
  and "ungreyed" only if the "format" box is checked.
