Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

The installer is wonderfully human except for this step. I would like to propose adding a new screen to the sequence with the following choices (of course the language needs to be updated, but the choices would be approximately as follows):

How do you want to partition the disk?
(1) Don't know/don't care, please decide the best options (warning, data may be lost).
(2) Save existing data (squish current data into a smaller partition, no data lost).
(3) Install from fresh (lose existing data).
(4) I'm an expert, let me partition the disk manually.
