Which menu do you mean?  A menu with two choices ("Gesamtes
Laufwerk..." and "Partitionstabelle von Hand eingeben") or a menu
containing your existing partitions and actions like "Partitionierung
beenden", "Hilfe zur Partitionierung", "Logical Volume Manager
konfigurieren", etc.?

If you mean the first of these menus, then intentionaly there is no
possibility to delete/overwrite partitions as this seams dangerous.
But if you mean the second menu, then this must be some unknown
problem as there is a possibility to delete/edit existing partitions
in this menu.  If you mean the second menu and you can repeat the
installation, pleas send us /var/log/partman, as this could help us to
find the source of the problem.

Thanks again for your report.
