[Bug 1357093] [NEW] Encrypted install creates too small /boot partition

[Elfy]

Public bug reported:

Currently if one chooses to use encrypted install, a /boot partition is
created of 256Mb

Once kernel updates start being released this partition soon fills until
people are left unable to upgrade.

While you and I might know that we need to watch partition space, many
of the people we have installing think that a windows disk is a disk and
not a partition, education is probably the key - but in the meantime
support venues keep needing to deal with the fact the partition is too
small and/or old kernels are not purged as new ones install.

** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed
