Required some tricks to be able to test the partman-target fix, but
yeah, the fix works.

I'm going to add an ubiquity task as this will need a rebuild of
ubiquity to actually be rolled out to the precise images.

verification-done for the partman-target bits.

Bug description:
  [Impact] Serious data loss when using the live CD upgrade option.
  [Test Case] Install 11.10.  Create some files under /var/lib/mysql/ and /var/lib/mythtv/ (doesn't matter exactly what).  Use the live CD upgrade option to upgrade to 12.04 using an in-place install.  Check that the files you created still exist.
  [Regression Potential] Limited to the upgrade option; this code is not used elsewhere.  If that option still works otherwise then it should be fine.

  Original report follows:

  When using the live cd to upgrade, it wipes /var/lib/mythtv/*
  (presumably /var/*) meaning you lose the database and the default
  storage group locations
