Bug Description

Ubuntu 12.10

As shown on <https://picasaweb.google.com/105922848292507689403/1210TypicalInstall?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCOj8r6OyseCZOQ&feat=directlink#5802133580650823714>, the text explaining each basic partitioning option is in small print *and* grey.

This is overdoing it. It should be in black small print.

[Discovered during usability testing.]

  * Remove webcam step (LP: #1118589):
    - User testing showed people are not expecting to be photographed and
      raise privacy concerns as to where the picture will be uploaded to.
    - Provides limited benefit, as avatar only ever shown on multi-login
      systems in the switch user indicator / pkexec.
    - Crashes the installer or doesn't work with certain webcams.
    - Miss detects camera presence, when it's just a sensor.
    - The recommendation is to move webcam test to checkbox / hw testing,
      as video conferencing is very popular these days and should work
      reliably out of the box.
    - LP: #924419 , LP: #981644 , LP: #987392, LP: #1152254, LP: #843354,

  * Do not count optional pages, when updating the progress dots. This
    fixes "Porgress dots, well don't progress after partman step"
    LP: #1152746
  * Do not mark explanatory text on "Installation Type" screen
    insensitive, as otherwise it's ineligible (LP: #1074386)
