[Bug 938972] [NEW] Ubuntu installer does not create home directory

[Larry Hastings]

Public bug reported:

This happened when using the Precise daily from 2/21.  I installed onto a fresh disk with the following options:
* separate / and /home partitions, both btrfs, both formatted as part of the install
* encrypted home directory
The installation process completed as normal.  But when the machine rebooted I could not log in.  I switched to a text virtual terminal and logged in to discover that my home directory had not been created.  I sudo'd to root and created it and was able to log in.  And running "ecryptfs-setup-private" successfully encrypted it.
