(Get the code!)
It should be understood that when fixed, this message also needs to stand alone. The user has two choices before them, "yes, force" and "no, don't force". The system must not assume that the user remembers anything about what was done before in the installer, or knows what will come next when picking either of those two options, except what the message tells them.
It's also possible that the real bug here is in this message ever being shown to the user at all. But someone needs to dig into the code and see it in context of the installer (both ubiquity and d-i) to make that determination.
