[Bug 1067106] [NEW] /boot partition should be larger when using auto full-disk-encryption

[Mark Russell]

Public bug reported:

When choosing full disk encryption in the quantal version of Ubiquity,
the resulting /boot partition seems small.

In my test installation /boot came to 228MB.

Assuming that each kernel+initrd comes to about 30MB, that doesn't leave
too many kernel upgrades.  I'm not sure that would cover an 18 month
support cycle.

Of course, one can clean out old kernels, but not everyone realizes
that.  And at that size, it might take some savvy users by surprise.

My suggestion would be 512MB or higher.  Thanks.
