Bug Description

When installing with full disk encryption, the installer does not allow customisation of the size of /boot, resulting in a partition which is 256 MB. This is too small to be functional for more than a few months on current versions, and was the cause of one of my machines failing to upgrade to wily (due to insufficient space in /boot).

Please allow customising of the partition sizes when using an LVM + cryptsetup install.

Installer crashes with custom partition sizes and encrypted install. I sized my /boot 4 GB.
250M is all I get with default. Is there a way to change the Ubiquity default boot partition
size? I came across a tip that talks about edition /lib/partman/recipes/30atomic

Will this work? I am assuming I can find this file once I boot the 15.10 from USB with Try
without Install option.
