Bug Description
Under Ubuntu 16.04, installing root (/) into an Ext4 formatted LUKS partition creates /dev/dm-0, rather than /dev/mapper/
On the other hand, installing root (/) into a Btrfs formatted LUKS partition creates /dev/mapper/
I'm under the impression that it is more appropriate to create /dev/mapper/
Whether this raises to the level of a bug, I'm not sure. But it certainly is peculiar that ubiquity performs correctly when installing root (/) into a Btrfs formatted LUKS partition, but performs incorrectly when installing root (/) into an Ext4 formatted LUKS partition. If truly a bug, I hope that it will be fixed before the release of U1604.
Also, this bug may be related to Bug #1523194.
