Bug Description
Kubuntu dapper live cd version: RC1
Scenario:
1. Disk with 1 partition hda1 (NTFS) and free space behind it.
2. Run Ubiquity, select custom partitioning.
3. Create extended partition spanning the whole free space.
4. Add swap partition as logical partition on extended partition.
5. Add root partition as logical partition on extended partition. It should _not_ fill whole extended partition size, leaving some space for other logical partitions to be added later.
6. Run installation.
7. Partitions created do not reflect the choices - extended partition created spans only to hold swap and root partition, the remaining free space does not belong to extended partition. This means user can create only primary partitions on this drive (which is limited), no matter how much free space is there.
