Title:
  Loki Installer formats /home despite being told not to.

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  During a custom installation of elementary os I had planned on
  installing over my current Ubuntu Gnome install. (I have a separate
  root and home partition) I had selected my old root to become the new
  root, and to be formatted with the check box and my /home to stay
  /home and NOT be formatted. The install went as normal but I was
  greeted with a completely formatted /home partition. The installer had
  stated only root and swap would be formatted, and NOT home. Thankfully
  I had a backup, but I did lose two weeks worth of data.

  To see if this was just something normal with the installer I added
  files to the new /home and then installed over elementary Loki with
  Ubuntu using the same steps. My files persisted.

  I'm new to bug reporting so my apologies if I formatted this
  incorrectly.
