Jaunty Alpha 2 Installation: encrypted home directory broken

Bug description:
Binary package hint: user-setup
The Jaunty Alpha2 server and alternate installations offer a new option just
after creating the initial user.
This option is supposed to setup the user's home directory for encryption.
Unfortunately, this is not working, due to missing kernel modules (ecb).
If you select this option, the user will be created, however the encrypted home
directory setup will not complete. This will yield an unwritable (500) home
directory, and your /etc/skel will be missing.
If you are suffering from this problem in post installation, as a temporary
workaround, you can:
$ sudo passwd # set a root password
$ exit
login: root
# userdel -r $YOUR_USER
# rm -rf /var/lib/ecryptfs/$YOUR_USER
# adduser --encrypt-home $YOUR_USER
# exit
login: $YOUR_USER
This should be solved very shortly after Alpha2 in the daily iso's with an
update to the crypto-modules package (and possibly some appropriate modprobing
by user-setup).
