As I said above, this should be a clear case for an SRU for Intrepid.

I do not believe this is a release critical bug, because it only affects:
 - users of the alternate/server iso
 - who have a "%", or a "-" in their chosen passphrase
 - and have elected to setup an encrypted private directory in the installer.

When this occurs, the ecryptfs-setup-private step fails, however, the
installation proceeds normally.  Upon reboot, the user will find that
their encrypted ~/Private directory is not mounted, and with permission
0500 (r-x------), and thus no data should be written there.

To remedy the problem after the first boot, the user will need to
upgrade ecryptfs-utils (to the version we will SRU), and then run
"ecryptfs-setup-private --force" to reconfigure their encrypted
~/Private directory correctly.
