Public bug reported:
1. Start installation of Ubuntu Server 16.04 on a system with no less than 2
disks.
2. Reach the Partition disk main menu
3. Create empty partition table to 2 (or more) disks
4. Create a RAID device over the 2 (or more) disks
5. The installer will show a single sub-item under the created RAID device. It
looks like a partition already exists.
6. Select it to partition it.
If you select the RAID device, nothing happens.
Expected result:
The usual partitioning menu appears
Actual result
The usual partition usage menu appears (Use as:...)
Workaround
After step no.4 select "Undo changes to partitions".
Since the partition tables to the single storage devices have already been
committed and nothing has been done yet to the md* devices, nothing will
actually be lost. The storage device list will now show just the RAID devices
with no sub-item.
Now you can select the RAID device to let the usual partitioning menu appear.
