Public bug reported:

Under Ubuntu 16.04, installing root (/) into an Ext4 formatted LUKS
partition creates /dev/dm-0, rather than /dev/mapper/sdaX_crypt.

On the other hand, installing root (/) into a Btrfs formatted LUKS
partition creates /dev/mapper/sdaX_crypt, rather than /dev/dm-0.

I'm under the impression that it is more appropriate to create
/dev/mapper/sdaX_crypt, rather than /dev/dm-0, when installing root (/)
into a LUKS partition.  See https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-
lvm/2009-August/msg00010.html

Whether this raises to the level of a bug, I'm not sure.  But it
certainly is peculiar that ubiquity performs correctly when installing
root (/) into a Btrfs formatted LUKS partition, but performs incorrectly
when installing root (/) into an Ext4 formatted LUKS partition.  If
truly a bug, I hope that it will be fixed before the release of U1604.

Also, this bug may be related to Bug #1523194.
