Bug#408641: Please default to the one-and-only disk; already displayed for confirmation in the next question



Package: partman-auto
Severity: normal

tags 408641 - wontfix
thanks

If the user has only one disk, and chooses to do guided partitioning,
then they have to choose which of their one disk they want to partition.
The very next question (for the partitioning scheme) then confirms this
by saying "Selected for partitioning:" followed by the exact name asked
for in the previous question.  The following question then confirms the
generated partitioning scheme (and displays the exact disk name again),
and the question after that confirms one more time that the user wants
to write the changes to the disk.  Thus, I think it seems entirely safe
to default to the one-and-only disk if no other disk exists, given that
the user will still get multiple chances to review and confirm their
choice.
