That's only because it was being called very much at the wrong time
because of another issue; I think this would be properly fixed by the
partman-auto change.

What this is meant to handle is just the fact that if you click
Continue, the system will skip UEFI steps in partman-efi, and Go Back
will just get you back to the partitioning scheme selection so you can
go see that same dialog again next time you try.

Title:
  Force UEFI dialog is confusing

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The "Force UEFI Install" warning that shows up when installing in UEFI
  mode on a system booted in Legacy mode (and in other cases), is worded
  confusingly given the choices presented to the user "Go Back" and
  "Continue".

  Continue appears to add /var/lib/partman/ignore_uefi which causes
  further scripts trying to do EFI things to not do them --

  Go Back appears to correctly go back to the recipe selection screen,
  but further attempts would be EFI again.

  I'm thinking this should be reversed so that "Continue" would be
  "Continue in UEFI mode" and not write out
  /var/lib/partman/ignore_uefi, and "Go Back" to "Start over in Legacy
  mode" or some other such wording.
