Public bug reported:

i already have the partitions i need, and the swap partition i already
have is already known to other installs, so it'll be a bother to have to
change the fstab and hibernate/restore information for them.  my
particular partition layout, in case it matters:
(parted) p all

Model: Lexar USB Flash Drive (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 16.0GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags:

i selected partition 5, as ext4, for /.  when i dismissed that dialog, i
saw it had selected it for formatting, so i changed it to ext3,
unchecked format, dismissed it again, saw it was still selected for
format, unchecked it on the list this time rather than bringing up the
dialog.  a bit klunky there.  reviewing the list, nothing is checked for
format.  good.  clicked "install now".  it warns me about / not being
selected for format.  fine by me.  the next dialog informs me that
partition 3 will be formatted as swap.
