Glad to see it's doing a better job detecting other OSes. I'd hesitate
to call this bug "resolved" until the installer does a better job
messaging to the user what it is about to do. For example, if it says it
is going to "replace" one OS, it should also make it clear that this is
actually an entire disk wipe. There are probably lots of partition types
that ubiquity does not recognize.

Personally, I'd prefer to see this in a confirmation step that appears
before any changes are made. It's pretty typical for Linux installers to
have a summary screen saying, "here's what I'm about to do to your disk"
and giving you a chance to catch issues before you lose all your data.
