ecryptfs-utils should be installed by default

[C de-Avillez]

Last Saturday I lost my Lucid (due to other issues, unrelated to this bug). I then decided to reinstall from the 2010-04-11 alternate ISO.

During the install I kept some partitions, including /home. After install completed I tried to login to Gnome, and got some weird messages stating gconf could not access the gconf data, etc. The gnome startup then completeld with an emtpy window.

Moved to a vTerm, logged in, and found the usual two links created by ecryptfs stating the home directory was encrypted. To my surprise, ecryptfs-utils was not installed.

Manually installed it, rebooted, and life was good.

This is a corner case, of course. But I would expect a lot of users to use home dir encryption, and to recover systems maintaining /home.

Given we have been moving to have customers either encrypt the whole partition or their home directories, and given the chance of a reinstall *keeping* /home, ecryptfs-utils should *always* be installed.

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

Unfortunately ecryptfs was removed as part of the installer in 18.04. Only full disk encryption for an automated setup at the moment.
