** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ Any user installing Ubuntu on UEFI systems and picking manual partitioning. 
This leads to an installation config that cannot be completed due to the 
missing partition not being detected until grub-installer runs at the end of 
the install process
+ 
+ [Test case]
+ 1) Boot to an install media
+ 2) At the partitioning screen, pick "Something else" or "Manual partitioning".
+ 3) Create a single partition for /.
+ 4) Confirm all changes and begin the installation.
+ 
+ The installer should immediately warn the user on UEFI that there is no
+ EFI System partition and offer to go back to the partitioning screen.
+ 
+ Without the fix, the installation process happily continues and ends in
+ a crash in grub-installer.
+ 
+ [Regression potential]
+ There may be unforseen cases in which users really do not want to create an 
ESP despite using an installation medium that was booted in UEFI mode. In these 
cases, users will now have an additional dialog warning them that the ESP does 
not exist, and have the option to hit "Continue" after reading the message.
+ 
+ As in some cases the partitioning logic is run twice (for instance, when
+ in the ubiquity installer); there is some risk of additional warning
+ when going forward and back in the installer steps and the partitioning
+ screens. Any step in which the partitionning prompts unduly or refuses
+ to install should be investigated, they may be regressions if the setup
+ was previously allowed and lead to a succesfully completed installation.
