Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I have 5 partitions, and each time I reinstall ubuntu:
I have to annoyingly indicate each partition type, though it doesn't change from current

because I see, than ubiquity detects the partition type (from the listed partitions),
so why not help a user a bit, and set it in the dropdown box
if user really wants, he can change it
