Since we weren't ever to reliably reproduce this (that I know of) and
given that it seems to be working in at least Jammy and since there have
been no complaints here, since, I'm going to mark this Incomplete and
let it ultimately expire unless there are other occurances in current
versions.

This comment was ~suggested by Walter/wxl, it's intention is to go
upstream.
All testing here is on existing system

Possibly of significance... Post a `calamares` failed install, I cannot
use KDE Partition Manager to delete the partition & re-create for
another test. ie

If however I reboot and perform the same steps in KDE Partition
repeat of last test (#7)..
- / (sda9) partition has lubu system (format),
- re-use sda8 for /home (no-format)
I was unable to 'select' format for sda9 partition, so I changed format
to 'reiser' then accepted; then returned it to ext4 & format was
selected..
I have this error again :(
I booted the Lubuntu 18.04.4 ISO on live, and couldn't see any issues.
I used `gparted` to firstly delete the sda9 partition, clicked apply. Next I
created a new ext4 partition using the space without issue & rebooted
Re-ran Lubuntu 20.04 using new daily and Manual partitioning again
