Cryptsetup is not installed by default and/or there is no visual
indicator it is missing.
This are the problems user will encounter because of that:
-If encrypted USB media is inserted prompt for password will be shown but unlocking will fail.
-Disk Utility offers option when formating device to create encrypted volume and if selected formating will fail.
-Disk Utility does show encrypted media but an effort to unlock it will fail.
-...
Suggestion: cryptsetup should be available by default or visual
indicator that it's needed but missing and needs to be installed should
be presented!

nautilus asks for pass even though cryptsetup is not installed -
should recommend install before

Bug description:
Binary package hint: nautilus
nautilus asks for pass even though cryptsetup is not installed -
should recommend install before
cryptsetup should be a dependency of the ubuntu-desktop meta-package and/or to the following individual packages:
gnome-disk-utility
nautilus
my reasoning for this request is that both of these programs have
disabled features which have to do with luks encrypted disks. These
programs seemingly offer these options but unless cryptsetup is
installed they will fail with an error. These programs should either
recommend installation of cryptsetup (using gnome-app-install just
like totem with codecs) before preforming the action, otherwise they
should be set as dependencies to these packages.
Steps to reproduce:
Disk Utility (palimpsest):
-Insert disk and format disk, create a partition and encrypt underlaying device
-It will ask for password but will fail if crypsetup is not installed
Expected:
-Palimpsest should recommend the installation of crypsetup through gnome-app-install
or
-cryptsetup should be a dependency of gnome-disk-utility
or
-Feature should not be showen if cryptsetup is not installed
Nautilus:
-Insert LUKS encrypted disk into a fresh install of ubuntu (imagine you have no net access for a radius of 50km)
-Nautilus asks for password, indicating a feature it cannot preform without cryptsetup
-Nautilus fails with error stating that the child process crypsetup could not be found
-Nautilus should recommend the installation of crypsetup through gnome-app-install
or
-cryptsetup should be a dependency of nautilus
or
-Feature (password dialog) should not be shown if cryptsetup is not installed
