** Description changed:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Similar to LP: #438709. When a machine has 4 primary partitions, the
option to dual-boot isn't shown, which confuses users, and is likely to
result in unexpectedly wiping their existing installation.
Quoting my comment on that bug:
Also ran into this on an HP 620 laptop that shipped with 4 primary partitions.
*I* saw the issue and laughed at HP's partition layout, but the student who
came to me had no idea why it wouldn't let her do a dual-boot install.
I have a suspicion that we'll be seeing more machines with that
configuration before EFI takes over.
