Ubiquity tries to install on the install media by default

[Jonathan Ernst]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Installing maverick from an USB Key (sdb), the installer first asked me if it can unmount some partition on sdb and then when choosing to install Ubuntu on my disk it selected this usb key instead of my brand new hard disk (sda).

The installer should be smart enough to figure out that i shouldn't unmount the media where it is actually stored and not to choose the default installation disk as it's own media.
