This is fixed, after a fashion. The partitioner no longer offers the
opportunity to explicitly create an extended partition; you can create
primary or logical partitions, and it will do whatever it needs to do in
terms of extended partitions. Thus there is no longer a conflict between
an explicit user request and what the partitioner does.
I don't plan to restore the ability to explicitly lay out extended
partitions. It isn't necessary in an installer context, and as I noted
it is trivial to resize extended partitions provided that there is some
adjacent unpartitioned space. I have never heard of a real case where
this caused a problem for automatic or OEM installations, and I've dealt
with a lot of those.
** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
