Binary package hint: ubiquity
In the latest daily build (20th January) the Advanced Options dialogue box on the final page has, as usual, a combo box to select the boot device, under the title "Device for boot loader installation:".
However, picking a device (/dev/sda12, which is the root partition in this case) doesn't update the display in the text box; as I would expect it to.
I can edit the device path manually as per a normal text box though.

* Fix docstrings. They need to be the first statement in a function.
* Fix method call to set_summary_device in the advanced dialog.
Thanks Roman Shtylman.

This might well have been the cause of your other bug, too, so it would be worth trying a newer daily build ...
