** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+ Ubuntu installations, even using the graphical installer, are often scripted
in order to reduce the burden on administrators. With the increasing importance
of security now in enterprise environments, scripted installations may be used
to set up fully-encrypted desktop systems, which in the end need to be fed a
custom password for full-disk encryption; by the end user or otherwise, which
may need to explicitly not be scripted.
+
+ [Test case]
+ Use the included preseed file: one could customize a CD to include it in
preseed/.
+ 1 - Boot on the CD
+ 2 - Press F6 to see the full command-line
+ 3 - Edit the command-line to point to the custom preseed
+ 4 - Add "only-ubiquity automatic-ubiquity" to boot in the installer, set up
for automatic install.
+ 5 - Start the system by hitting the Enter key.
+
+ The installation should complete succesfully. Without the patch, it will
+ crash, and show an error message repeatedly.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ This affects the encryption page of the installer only, so could cause issues
in the rendering of that page, or cause properly-scripted encryption settings
to be missing in case of a regression.

I was trying to preseed creating encrypted lvm for enabling unattended
installation with ubiquity 2.18.8.2 (in trusty).
The encryption password has NOT been preseeded. I was expecting a UI
with a password prompt.
The installation fails before partitioning with a message box:
"Keyfile creation failed. An error occurred while creating the keyfile."
