Title:
  Ubuntu installer manual partitioning: disk encryption strange
  behaviour

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  My apologies for not spending much time on this bug. I hope someone
  else can investigate the issue since I am short in time.

  I have installed Ubuntu today over my existing Debian installation.
  Unfortunately my ubuntu adventure has started very bad: my data
  partition got formatted.

  Steps I took in the installation procedure:
  - I chose for custom partitioning
  - I selected my debian root to be formatted as ext4 and mounted on /
  - I clicked my data partition and in the use as field selected encrypted disk (or something similar)
  - I entered my passphrase and clicked ok

  At this point I realized the installer was probably creating a new
  Luks partition instead of using the existing one, so I decided to
  instead set up my data partition manually after the installation had
  been completed.

  - I clicked the revert button a couple of times. It seemed to me at this point the installer was not altering my data partition.
  - I clicked install

  After rebooting and checking my data partition, I found out a new Luks
  partition had been creaed. Furthermore, it had been formated as ext4,
  though I am completely sure I did not check the format box for my data
  partition.
