Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Alpha 5 CD.
When the installer reaches the "Prepare disk space" step, and there's an existing OS installed, the default option seems to be "Use the entire disk." It appears that this option is supposed to display a warning, because when "Install them side by side" is selected and then "Use the entire disk" is selected again, a warning displays ("This will delete <OS name> and replace it with Ubuntu 9.04"). The warning should display the first time, and not just when the option is deselected and selected again. The OS I had installed previously was another copy of Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty.

* Pack the timezone_map in an AspectFrame instead of a regular Gtk Frame.
* Plot the time zone cities using a Miller cylindrical map projection with
adjustments for the shifted left edge and missing arctic region of the
map.
* Account for daylight savings when highlighting a region in the
timezone_map (LP: #335355).
* Properly set the percent of each partition in the segmented_bar on the
advanced page (LP: #334826).
* Clean up the code around handling a partitioning choice change.
Show the format warning when the disk is automatically selected
(LP: #335704).
* Automatic update of included source packages: base-installer
1.98ubuntu3.

* Stop the user-setup component from believing it's done after the user
selects "go back" at a weak password dialog (LP: #340549).
* Add ubiquity/
space-separated list of packages to keep installed even if they aren't
in the desktop manifest and aren't in the list of language packs to keep
(LP: #290400).
* Expand dependencies of packages we know we want to keep (language packs,
etc.) before calculating which packages to blacklist from file copying
or to remove. This is more correct in the presence of Recommends of
language packs, and furthermore saves considerable time when
blacklisting. My test results for various language pack sets on a DVD:
- en: 4:00 -> 3:30
- de+en+es+
- all: 14:37 -> 0:10 (!)
This doesn't quite solve LP #335596 because testing a large number of
packages for removal when there genuinely are lots of packages to remove
is still quite slow, but it very significantly improves the worst cases.
