Greetings Steve,
I prefer XFS filesystem. As much as I understand, the only way to get Ubuntu / Xubuntu to use XFS is to do manual partitioning.
With legacy partitioning, then lately (past several versions) Ubuntu has been able to boot directly from XFS. Back around 2004/5 range, it was required to have at least a small ext2 or ext3 (later) /boot partition, and the rest could be XFS for the root partition.
Now with EFI systems, I have understood that it is back to having at least two partitions... an EFI partition first, which then following may be the main XFS partition.
As much as I have understood, this above is the state of Linux booting from XFS currently.
As far as where I first booked this bug against... I had forgotten that ubiquity was actually the package name for the installer. Please accept my apologies.
