Bug Description

when installing dapper (final) at the screen right after partitioning you can choose the mountpoints of the filesystems. i chose hda1 (boot), hda5 (swap) and hda7 (root). after installation there were all partitions of hda and hdb (but not hdc) in fstab which led to corruption of hda9 (which was a luks-volume).

i could reproduce the problem by installing a second time.
