Perhaps this > should be asked at critical instead? The discussion on this bug seems to have died. I propose to not implement the request and close the report for the following reasons: - almost all installations on multi-boot machines will be prio high; - prio critical is mostly reserved for automatic installations; - the relevant questions do have good defaults; - AFAIK os-prober has proven to be fairly reliable at "other OS" detection; - even if it fails, the new installation will in most cases be bootable, allowing for recovery; - we now have a good rescue option to assist with recovery if the previous point should not be true.
