Colin-

Yes, that was the understanding I had, per our discussion in IRC.  If
the user's home directory already exists, don't allow encrypting-home.
The ecryptfs side simply cannot do the right thing in that case, without
trampling existing data.

How you handle it in the installer is up to you.  Simply not displaying
the encrypt-home radio button in that case seems like a reasonable
solution.
