Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

When Ubiquity is finished installing, it presents a message indicating that "Installation is Complete." The text in this message reads:

"Installation has finished. You can continue testing Ubuntu now, but until you restart the computer, any changes you make or documents you save will not be preserved"

This hard-coded reference to Ubuntu is unnecessary, and requires downstream distros to create a package fork in order to use the installer in their distro.

Instead of stating "Ubuntu" specifically, this text should display the distro name in /cdrom/.disk/info or the /etc/lsb-release file, as all other text in the installer does.

This is still happening as of Lucid. Any chance of it being fixed for Maverick?
