Bug Description

In the example preseed file https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt linked from https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/index.html , there is a reference to

d-i partman/confirm_write_new_label boolean true

This is no longer correct, and should say

d-i partman-partitioning/confirm_write_new_label boolean true

STABLE UPDATE: This is documentation only, and I think it would be good to have our preseeding documentation usable by default. This bug is fixed in trunk (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/installation-guide/trunk/revision/3853) and it's a simple backport (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/installation-guide/ubuntu.lucid/revision/474). Maverick will get the fix via a merge from unstable.

TEST CASE:
1. install installation-guide-i386
2. edit the file /usr/share/doc/installation-guide-i386/example-preseed.txt.gz
3. Check line 160

VERIFICATION SUCCEEDED
- The line 160 is:
d-i partman-partitioning/confirm_write_new_label boolean true

  * Backport from trunk:

      partman-partitioning/confirm_write_new_label in r50363, December 2007.
      Adjust preseeding documentation to match (LP: #591199).
