Public bug reported:
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?"
