20.10 wants an EFI system partition even on a BIOS system

I've logged this as bug #1915152:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1915152

Installing both Ubuntu Unity and Xubuntu 20.10 on my Thinkpad W500
complain that they cannot find the EFI system partition. This is
because there isn't one, and that is because this is not a UEFI
computer; it is from 2008 (!).

Anyone else seen this? If so, please add your experience to the bug,
as well as telling me. I guess BIOS systems are going away now but
this seems a quite serious issue.
