Forced to encrypt my home directory during Oneric install

[Justin R. Andrusk]

During the install of Ocelot Oneric Beta 1 on my Asus e1000 netbook I choose to not to reformat my home partition. During the install the selection was made for me to logon and to encrypt my home directory. I did not want to encrypt my home directory and when I tried to change the setting, I could not as it was greyed out and disabled.

File system was EXT4 and home directory was defined on separate partition.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

It happens on both my laptop and my desktop

This is really annoying because I usually do not reformat my home-partition.
Disabling the home-directory-encryption is also quite a pain...

I think this is because I setup a folder-encryption with ecryptfs. However it's not a regular full home-folder encryption because I think that's too much. Instead I only have a "Private"-folder in my home-folder that contains the private data.
This also leads to the creation of /home/.ecrpytfs and /home/myuser/.ecryptfs and I think that the setup checks for that.
