It won't matter. Apparently it's more important to service laptop users
who can't figure out how to/or can't disable floppy in bios, and or who
are of the mindset that floppies are no longer necessary/used simply so
they can boot faster:

You can review/find the rest:

Bottom line is that Ubuntu dev's simply can't figure out a way, or can't
be bothered to resolve the issue.

 With all respect to Martin Pitt et al, I've given up. Just use:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/441835/comments/268
or the 'udisks --mount /dev/fd0' recomendations, or find another distro.
IMO it's no longer worth the effort & Ubuntu simply refuses to support
floppies beyond udisks_1.0.1-1build1_i386.deb. There has been no effort
to provide a backport for floppy users, no effort to provide a boot
switch for floppy users, no effort at all to resolve this issue.
