Public bug reported:

Apologies for doing this in my main system rather than whilst installing
in the VM. This is a long-standing bug at least in the Kubuntu themed
installer; when one chooses "Guided: use entire disk and set up LVM and
encryption" two boxes but there but no labels to indicate that a key
should be typed into each of them.

This may be obvious to anyone used to doing this, but it is not obvious
to anyone trying this for the first time, and blind users will be unable
to do this at all.

I should have reported this one years ago but the fact that it still has
not been fixed has prompted me to finally do so.
