GNATS deleted the change description for some reason, not sure why. 
Anyway, I closed this because there doesn't seem to be a good way to 
tell whether this is something that will cause problems or not. There 
are many compelling reasons to reuse partitions (e.g. /home) that will 
cause no problems. There are also a number of dangerous cases (e.g. 
/usr/local, /, etc.). Sometimes they will be fine (they might have been 
empty and created by hand), and there doesn't seem to be a good way to 
distinguish between them all. If there is, I'm happy to put it in and 
re-open (and re-close) this PR.
