I believe there is a use-case for an encrypted home+swap which should be
considered. If you use Linux in an enterprise setup and your employees
need both Windows and Linux for their daily tasks you will want to have
their machines set up for dual boot. If they also happen to use laptops
which they take home regularly for work there is a serious risk of their
computers being stolen on the way home. This would compromise secret
documents, source code, local emails if there is no encryption present.
We don't care about the system being compromised (highly unlikely that
we will ever get it back), we care about stolen data. Currently, we
solve this problem with an installer script that was created based on
the article mentioned above, but we are hoping the installer will
support this out-of-the-box in the next release.

Title:
Ubiquity needs to not disable the LVM and encryption options for dual
boot
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
When performing a side by side install with Windows, ubiquity
needlessly disables the options for LVM and encryption. Doing a
manual install and setting up encryption works fine, so there seems to
be no reason for Ubiquity to deny this option on the easy path.
