Bug Description
I got this crash on today's (20151014) amd64 wily desktop image while trying to reproduce bug 1506139. I did a manual partitioning with this layout:
Partition 1: plain ext4 boot partition mounted on /boot
Partition 2: luks-encrypted swap
Partition 3: luks-encrypted btrfs for /
and auto-login (should hardly matter).
The installer crashed with this initramfs-tools error (and an unclose-able error window in ubiquity).

Eh -- I meant to type "1000" MB for /boot, not "100", sorry. Changing to a low-prio ubiquity bug, it couldn't hurt to warn about/disallow to small /boot size.
