Ok it is a feature request but I see it more as a security regression.
It used to be possible to encrypt /home in one click in the installer. This feature does not exist anymore and (I assume that) many users simply gave up and installed an unencrypted (k)Ubuntu.
It is possible to install an encrypted "/" but the howto is not given in the installer.
