(Get the code!)
1. Fresh boot into iso file (in UEFI mode).
2. The partition on the target drive is mounted automatically. I unmount it now. This should be done automatically by Calamares.
3. I leave the zram swap on (I don't think it must be swapped off; I want to check that.)
4. Fix for 2054795 and start the installer ... and using the whole drive is allowed and the installation finishes sucessfully.
So this indicates that it is enough to unmount the partition on the target drive. It was 'overkill' when I also wiped the first mibibyte.

I don't think that average beginners will understand/guess that they should unmount the partitions on the target drive in order to be allowed to install Lubuntu onto the whole drive, so I suggest that we unmount those partitions automatically.
If it is important to have them mounted in order to see what they contain, it could be done if/when the user has selected a drive and selected the option to use the whole drive. (Otherwise it would be easier to unmount the partitions (except on the boot drive) as soon as a drive is selected or maybe even as soon as Calamares is started.)
