Surely the moral is that the ubuntu installer should have at least 
basic, rudimentary safeguards when partitioning disks and writing data. 
  Such as not writing partition data unless the user explicitly tells it 
to, and never writing directly to a partition which has a RAID 
superblock.  This is pretty basic stuff.
