Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I am using Ubiquity to install to USB Drive.
At the partitioning step I chose to use the entire disk and point it to the USB stick.
At the last step I click I the advanced option says /dev/sda instead of /dev/sdb. Changing it to /dev/sdb using the contextual menu fails and does not change the drive. User must click on the text field and manually type sdb.

Confirmed, this can be easily reproduced. Marking as Medium importance since this bug has a strong potential for data destruction in the case someone was to try such an action.
