IMO this is only a minor bug. If you specify 99%- and no other
partition, then setup-storage will put the whole disk size into 
this partition. People know, that you cannot use 100% of a disk,
since there's always some overhead. Even the MBR is sort of
overhead. You will also not get 100% inside your file system. 

@Michael: I think it should be ok, to document that people should use
99%- instead of 100%.
