Title:
  Ubiquity installer allows encrypting home folder even if /home is
  already on an LUKS-encrypted partition

Status in elementary OS:
  New
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Ubiquity installer shows "Encrypt my home folder" checkbox that activates eCryptFS even if /home is already on an LUKS-encrypted partition, and it is unchecked by default. This is confusing and often results in the superfluous ecryptfs-over-LUKS setup for people opting for encryption. Instead, the checkbox should be either checked and made insensitive when /home is on a LUKS-encrypted partition. 
  Alternatively, showing a warning when trying to enable eCryptFS over LUKS is also an option.
