Title:
  Slightly misleading warning after manual partition selection

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  This might be too minor to even be worth mentioning, but I just
  happened to notice that it wasn't quite correct.

  When installing Ubuntu (using the 16.04.1 desktop amd64 ISO), I
  selected the 'something else' option for manual partitioning, then did
  only the following two things:

  1. Marked existing partition /dev/sda7 for formatting as ext4 and mounting at /
  2. Marked existing partition /dev/sda8 for use as swap

  The confirmation dialog that appears next correctly notes those two
  things, but first states that "the partition table on /dev/sda will be
  modified." I haven't changed the partition table at all, though. After
  finishing the installation, it doesn't appear to have been messed
  with, so I'm guessing the message is just wrong. I wonder if it
  actually meant to say, "the master boot record of /dev/sda will be
  modified?"
