Bug Description
partman's `partition settings' screen has a `go back' button. Users will expect
that to behave like `cancel' but it doesn't. While it would be nice to have a
cancel, it is not essential; but, definitely, there shouldn't be something that
looks like cancel but doesn't.
The same applies to the main partition list screen, which has `undo changes'
(works like Cancel), `finish and write' (works like Confirm) and `go back'
(leaves the partitioner without confirming but remembers the settings for the
next entry into the partitioner provided it is in the same invocation of the
installer!)
`Go back' should be removed from both of these screens.
(I'm seeing all of this in d-i in breezy Colony 2)
