Public bug reported:

Just testing Lubuntu QQ 20120606 i386 live image and noticed something
I've not noticed before. Performing an "entire disc" install with two
drives attached the installer says one partition will be deleted
although no partition exists on that drive. I'll post a screenshot, but
here's what I started with:

lubuntu at lubuntu:~$ sudo parted -l
Model: ATA WDC WD1600BEVS-2 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 160GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

And the installer appears to have done the right thing:
