Bug Description

In multiple bug reports originating from ubuntu-desktop-installer, people are showing an error of the form:

            raise ValueError("unsupported fs type '%s'" % fstype)
        ValueError: unsupported fs type ''
        unsupported fs type ''

For intentional unformatted partitions, this should be accepted.
The installer UI should also enforce appropriate usage of this case - ensure that the partition is formatted when it's supposed to be.
