Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 12.10, live usb.

When selecting disk encryption the user is asked for a new password.
Try a password with 1 symbol, at least 3 lower-case letters, at least 3 numbers and exactly 1 upper-case letter. Ubiquity indicates it is a safe password. Add another upper-case letter and ubiquity indicates it is a short password.
Example:
*123eicA          Strong password
*123eicAB       Short password

Expected:
*123eicAB       Strong password instead of short password.

This does not happen when creating a new user.
