Title:
  Ubiquity manual partitioner missing functionality to configure
  encrypted lvm

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Users require the ability to partition to different sizes other than
  full disk capacity.

  As of version 2.14.6, Ubiquity still lacks basic manual partitioning
  functionality.  Using Ubiquity it is not possible to manually
  configure logical volumes inside a physical volume for encryption.
  This functionality last existed in the alternate cd release in Ubuntu
  12.04, since discontinued as of 12.10.

  "The manual configuration partitioner should at least be as featureful
  as the alternate CD partitioner. When you create a new partition and
  choose the type, the list should include "physical volume for LVM" and
  "physical volume for encryption" as well as ext4, ext3, fat32, etc."

  "If you want to dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows, your partitioning scheme
  can look like this:

  /dev/sda1 - NTFS for Windows
  /dev/sda2 - ext4 for /boot
  /dev/sda3 - physical volume for encryption volume

  Within the encrypted volume you can set up a "physical volume for LVM"
  and within that create two volumes, one for swap and one ext4 for /.
  If someone already has Windows installed, Ubuntu can use free space on
  the drive to automatically create a /boot partition and put everything
  else in an encrypted partition."
