I have updated the specification to cover this. In any case where the
installer would offer to install Ubuntu alongside (or inside) existing
systems, if there is not enough room, the radio button should still be
present but insensitive, and the radio button's caption should be of the
form "There isn't enough space ... to install {this system} alongside
{other system(s)}."

** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: ubiquity
-
If there is not enough space on a disk to install Ubuntu alongside the
operating systems already present, the installer hides that option.
This is good, but it may leave people who were expecting that option
(such as people who have read the CD cover!) wondering why it isn't
there.
- This could be fixed by a sentence before the radio button group: "There
- is not enough disk space to install Ubuntu <version> alongside this
- system/these systems", or something like that.
