"Beginning" option by default in "Create partition" step of ubiquity-kde

What's wrong with that? This looks just fine, and it's certainly intentional for partitions to be created at the beginning of the available free space by default.

You have not proven ubiquity-frontend-kde.
¡Look the snapshot!

Oh, I see. In my defence, using full sentences in your report would have helped me understand it. :-) In fact, a variant of this problem shows up in the GTK frontend too; if you create one partition at the end of the available space, then "End" is the default for the next one you create too. I don't think that's desirable.

Fixed for the next upload.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 1.8.3

---------------
ubiquity (1.8.3) hardy; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Make all text in the partitioner translatable (LP: #144741).
    Unfortunately we don't have time to get translations in place for 8.04,
    but there ought to be time to do this for 8.04.1. This also involved
    moving the "Undo changes to partitions" button to a second line in order
    to avoid excessive horizontal growth.
  * Adjust po-debconf flags in ubiquity/install/copying_error/md5, so that
    ${FILE} doesn't get translated.
  * Offer a list of mount points when creating a partition (LP: #85713).
    Adjust this list (and also that offered when editing a partition) if the
    file system is changed to FAT or NTFS.
  * Guard against division by zero while copying files (LP: #211503).
  * Ensure that "Location for the new partition" always defaults to
    "Beginning" (LP: #207810).
  * Stop X forwarding code from breaking if we aren't running within X
    (LP: #214211).

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Update the translations from Rosetta.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: debian-installer-utils
    1.50ubuntu3, localechooser 1.42ubuntu5, partman-basicfilesystems
    56ubuntu4.

  [ Jonathan Riddell ]
  * Fix exception in edit partitions dialogue use in kde_ui
  * Add minimum size to partition_edit_dialog.ui, closes LP: #203626
  * Fix buttons on question dialogue to use supplied text, closes LP: #203660
