Public bug reported:
When choosing to do a full system encryption while installing Ubuntu,
the user is asked to set the encryption key *before* they have the
opportunity to select the correct keymap. E.g. I use a german keyboard
but when I enter my desired encryption key the keymap is still in "US"
mode, so some letters and symbols are on different positions on the
keyboard. This is confusing because the user has to enter the desired
key in "US" mode and has to find out where the right symbols are located
in order to get the "correct" encryption key afterwards. Not using these
keys is not a great solution, because not being able to use most symbols
sacrifices the ability to enter a strong encryption key.
