(Get the code!)
We should at least suggest a workaround in the release notes:
When installing you may want to use the whole target drive, but in some cases (typically if installing into a USB drive) it will not be offered by the installer. In such cases you can exit from the installer and unmount (and/or swapoff) all partitions on the target drive. If that does not help, you can wipe the first mibibyte of the target drive. Please doublecheck that you are wiping the correct target drive,
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=1M count=1k
where x is the device letter for the target drive, for example a or b or c. If you want to reduce the risk, you can install mkusb and let it wipe the first mibibyte in a safer way.
