This documentation is carried over from Debian, and I'd evidently missed
out on updating this particular bit for Ubuntu's three supported
architectures. Thanks for bringing this to my attention; it will be
fixed in the next Ubuntu debian-installer upload.

The best place to raise issues in the installation manual in future is
in Bugzilla, against the 'debian-installer-manual' component.

Thanks,
