[Bug 1262824] Re: Can't select which drive to resize when using "install alongside" in Trusty

Yes, the underlying resize_use_free implementation in partman-auto has
only ever supported selecting a single disk.  To fix this, it would be
necessary to refactor it to work something like some_device (so the
choices script would only check that it can work at all, while the
do_option script would offer a selection of the relevant disks), and
then ensure that ubiquity still works with the amended flow.

Title:
  Can't select which drive to resize when using "install alongside" in
  Trusty

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Just following up on bug #1260473 and in addition to not being able to
  resize the selected partition you can't select which drive to use if
  more than one drive exists if using the install alongside option.

  However, with the same installation media, I can choose which drive to
  use if using the entire disc option so I suspect the two bugs are
  related or perhaps even duplicates.
