Ubiquity shows one partition will be removed when no partitions exist on the selected drive

[Erick Brunzell]

I'm testing the Ubuntu GNOME 20140121.1 amd64 image and selecting "entire disc" with two existing discs shows that one partition will be removed even though no partitions exist on the selected drive:

Please see the attached screenshot.

BTW I quit the install to file this bug report but I'll relaunch ubiquity when I'm done.
