Should the importance of this bug be bumped to High? My rationale for doing so 
would be the following two points from the High category on 
http://wiki.kubuntu.org/Bugs/Importance :
    * Has a severe impact on a small portion of Ubuntu users (estimated)
    * Makes a default Ubuntu installation generally unusable for some users
          o For example, if the system fails to boot, or X fails to start, on a 
certain make and model of computer

This bug has a severe impact on a small to moderate portion of Ubuntu
users (everybody with an encrypted hard disk, so what I'm guessing is a
large portion of people with laptops or netbooks). It makes the system
nearly unbootable after a fresh install. The user needs to know that
(s)he'll need to boot with recovery mode or manually edit the grub line
the first time around, then edit /etc/default/grub and set the
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT option to "" to work around the issue.
