Hi. I'm the author of the proposed patch in lp:~flimm/usb-creator/warn-
before-format

When the user tries to format a drive with just one partition on it,
this message would be displayed:

Formatting the drive will erase it in its entirety.
Make a backup copy of any valuable data on $GNOME_PARTITION_NAME 
(/dev/devicename) before continuing.
   |Cancel|  |Format entire drive|

When the user tries to format a drive with several partitions on it,
this message would be displayed:

Formatting the drive will erase it in its entirety.
Make a backup copy of any valuable data on $GNOME_DRIVE_NAME (/dev/devicename) 
before continuing.
The following partitions will be deleted:
  /dev/devicename  LABEL1
  /dev/devicename  LABEL2 (etc)
   |Cancel|  |Format entire drive|

I haven't added the name of the new partition because I don't think USB
creator labels the new partition. Correct me if I am wrong.
