One shortcut could be added: if the system has only one mass storage device[1] display a simple prompt to choose between wiping everything (and doing a all-in-one partition install without other questions asked) or proceeding to partitioning as usual. [1] more than one mass storage device can mean that the user has at least some knowledge of partitions and also the risk of doing something wrong is too big.
