I optet for a manual partitioning as I wanted to keep the /home

document the original size of each partition before reinstalling in
order tell which is which.
For the pre-existing partitions... how where they created originally?
Where do you expect the installer to retrieve the contextual
information about what the partitions use to be used for?

My partitions were originally created as LVM with the various partitions
within that. Yes, I had expected the installer at least to show me the
names of the original partitions either in the field named original
partition as with the swap partition or as default suggestion when
editing the partitions.
