[Bug 1055797] Re: full-disk encryption should hide/de-emphasize encrypted homedirs

[Mark Russell]

It's deselected by default; maybe a warning could appear if you select
it:  "You have already selected full disk encryption.  Are you sure you
want to also encrypt home directories?"

I agree there's a potential use case.  But it must be pretty rare.  FDE
seems to be more often enforced on laptops, which aren't usually multi-
user.  You could hide it and allow for preseeding or warn?

Thanks.

Title:
  full-disk encryption should hide/de-emphasize encrypted homedirs

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  A customer has noted that in the quantal installer, if you choose
  full-disk encryption with LUKS you are then *also* offered the option
  to enable homedir encryption with ecryptfs.  The latter option should
  probably be de-emphasized when LUKS has been chosen.
