"No" and "Back" buttons in partition confirmation lead into main menu

Bug Description

When the partitioning is done, d-i (parted?) asks for a final confirmation. Both
the "No" and the "Back" button cause the d-i main menu to be displayed. First
the latter should be shown only on severe errors, second it is not clear what
the difference between these buttons is.

It would be more straightforward just to have "OK" and "Back", with "Back"
actually going back to the partitioning.

Does this happen with the breezy d-i too? (I have no machine to test it on
currently, sorry)

By code inspection, I believe it probably does.

I already said that by code inspection I believed the issue still existed in Breezy. I've looked at the code again and I continue to believe that it exists, so setting to Confirmed.

This bug was fixed in the package partman-base - 128ubuntu8

partman-base (128ubuntu8) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Don't display the Back button when asking for confirmation, since it's
    already a boolean "do you want to continue?" question and we ignore
    backup anyway (LP: #9244).
