[Bug 989279] [NEW] Ubiquity fails to create encrypted home directory when no swap if configured

[amay82]

Public bug reported:

Ubiquity fails to create encrypted home directory when no swap if
configured.

1) Begin installing Ubuntu
2) Custom partitions - Don't configure a swap partition
3) When Ubiquity asks for the user name, say that you want an encrypted home folder
4) Ubiquity fails: see screenshot

Apr 26 23:12:05 ubuntu ubiquity: cp: cannot stat `/etc/crypttab': No such file or directory

Because of the ecryptfs-setup-swap error I assume that it fails because
of the missing swap partition.
