Title:
  you can not encrypt partitions installing from desktop-CD

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  It's (at least for notebooks) essential to encrypt /home, Swap, /tmp and /var to prevent that unauthorized persons can access your intimate data. The best way to ensure this is to encrypt everything but /boot.
  The "Desktop"-CDs of Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu do not allow encrypted /-partitions and do not allow encrypted swap partitions.

  To reproduce this bug:
  Try to install Ubuntu using a key-encrypted (dm-crypt) root partition (/), a random-key-encrypted swap partition and a unencrypted /boot partition using the Ubuntu-, Kubuntu- or Xubuntu-Desktop-CD.

  Solution:
  Give all the encryption possibilities of the "alternate"-CDs to "desktop"-CD-users.
