+ Summary: I installed once, and selected the option to encrypt my home directory.
  Next, I rebooted and selected the option to reinstall, preserving my home directory.
  
  The installer popped up a box telling me that I had not selected any
  swap partition. It looks like installing with ecryptfs now uses
  encrypted swap, but I was never given an option to mount that encrypted
  swapspace on reinstall.

+ Release Note:
+ When using installer to upgrade or reinstall an existing installation with encrypted swap, the installer may fail to reuse it. A warning will be shown, but installation can be completed. The installed system will not have swap activated and users are advised to recreate swap on their systems.
