Title:
  Advanced grub install options show partition table BEFORE
  format/repartition instead of AFTER

Status in Ubiquity:
  Confirmed
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  When installing Ubuntu from the normal i386/AMD64 install CD, after
  reaching the step where the GRUB setup can be customized (the last
  page of the installer) and hitting the "Advanced" button, the drop-
  down list of partitions lists the *current* partition layout before
  the repartitioning, instead of displaying the partition layout
  *post*-partitioning.  (the screen I'm referring to:

  Since

  a) The partition layout will change possibly deleting the partition selected for GRUB installation to bootsector, and
  b) The partition we wish to install GRUB to may not yet be created

  This does not work. The drop-down needs to reflect not the entries in
  the MBR but the entries that _will_ be in the MBR after partitioning
  is complete.
