Won't it be much simpler if we just do the migration in this way,
using ecryptfs-setup-private's bootstrap mode (as root):

# mv /home/$USER /home/$USER.old
# mkdir -p -m 700 /home/$USER
# ecryptfs-setup-private -b -u $USER
# rsync -a /home/$USER.old/ /home/$USER/
# rm -rf /home/$USER.old/ (if needed)

I have tried and they worked.
