This was fixed in Ubuntu 8.04:

ubiquity (1.7.8) hardy; urgency=low

  * Check the md5 hash of the source and target files on copy to ensure they
    match, giving the user the option to abort, retry, or skip the file.
  * The md5 check can be disabled by preseeding
    ubiquity/install/md5_check to false.
  * Catch exceptions around the processing of each components run()
    function.
  * seteuid as a regular user until we need to do something as root.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: partman-target
    52ubuntu5.
