"Install <flavour> alongside them" selects unused space without confirming that is what the user/installer wants to do.

[Len Ovens]

I have a 2T disk with 20G space at the end. I select "Install <flavour> alongside them" because I know it allows resizing and I want a 100g partition to install on. However, ubiquity skips that step and just makes a 20g partition to install on without even confirming with the user so they can at least back out.

Selecting "Something else" does not offer partition resizing either.

There seems to be no way of resizing a partition if there is already empty space big enough to install on. However this space may not be big enough for install the user's normal software complement after installing the ISO.
