1. Fresh boot into iso in (UEFI mode).

2. The partition on the target drive is mounted automatically. I unmount
it now. This should be done automatically by Calamares.

3. I leave the zram swap on (I don't think it must be swapped off; I
want to check that.)

4. Fix for 2054795 and start the installer ... and using the whole drive
is allowed.

So this indicates that it is to unmount the partition on the target
drive. It was 'overkill' when I also wiped the first mibibyte.

-o-

I don't think that average beginners will understand/guess that they
should unmount the partitions on the target drive in order to be allowed
to install Lubuntu onto the whole drive, so I suggest that we unmount
those partitions automatically.

If it is important to have them mounted in order to see what they
contain, it could be done if/when the user has selected a drive and
selected the option to use the whole drive. (Otherwise it would be
easier to unmount the partitions (except on the boot drive) as soon as a
drive is selected or maybe even as soon as Calamares is started.)
