Bug description:
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

It's very easy to do:
 $ sudo apt-get remove ecryptfs-utils

In Ubuntu jaunty, if your account is set up with an encrypted home directory, this will make it impossible (okay, very, very difficult) to even log in to your system.

The ecryptfs-utils packaging needs a prerm check to determine if ecryptfs-utils is in use, before allowing the remove to continue.
