What on earth is "incomplete" about this bug? How hard can it be to add
an option "Do not install boot-loader (Advanced Users Only!" to a drop-
down menu?

  Installer forces you to install grub somewhere

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Prior to Maverick, the installer had a choice on the last screen,
  under advanced, to either not install grub, or install it somewhere
  other than /dev/sda.  As of Maverick, the choice of where to install
  grub to has been moved to the partitioning screen.  This is nice, but
  there is no option to not install grub at all.  The drop down list of
  locations to install grub to needs to include an option for NONE OF
  THE ABOVE.
