Bug Description
I got a report on askubuntu.com, so I'm making a bug report about it
His goal was to install Ubuntu on a USB stick. He did it with an existing Ubuntu installation on the computer.
When going through the installation, he specifically told it not to use any swap, as this would be a portable installation. However, he clicked the "Encrypt home folder" option and it found his swap space from his original install and securely wiped it and placed an entry for that swap into his USB install's /etc/crypttab.
Every time he booted his USB his main installation's swap space would again get corrupted. It was an easy fix, but a fix that should not need to be done.
