In my case it also failed. I had a precreated series of /dev/md devices
I set up using gdisk.

/dev/md0 for swap, /dev/md1 for root (/), and /dev/md2 for home (/home).

The install died during the grub installation. Now, there is no longer
an Alternate Ubuntu CD with the Debian Installer (which, sadly, after
all these years and all these shiny UIs, still works better than the
Ubuntu one does). So it's pretty tough to work around the problem
either.

I am not sure where to get all of the error logs from the install
because the location of them and most of the behavior of the Ubiquity
installed is undocumented as far as I can tell. It seems like it
segfaulted on me after the failure. I attached the stuff I could find in
/var/log/syslog. But given there's not a lot of decent workarounds I
think this is a pretty severe bug... installers shouldn't segfault...
