Bug Description
With manual partitioning it is possible to install with the root filesystem in an encrypted LVM volume without a separate unencrypted partition for /boot. This setup results in a system that doesn't boot, as Grub does not support LUKS2 [1].
I think subiquity should not allow this kind of setup.

Grub has support for LUKS2 in master, and once a new version gets released and included in Ubuntu I think it would be nice to stop creating a separate /boot in the guided encrypted LVM setup, and permit a manual setup without a separate /boot.
