Hi Walter,

Encrypted LVM is *the* test-case in all other Ubuntu flavours including
Ubuntu server. I really think we should test it, not only LVM.
'Encrypted disk' is implemented via LVM.

Lubuntu is a special case with 'encrypted LVM', and inside it 'encrypted
home'. What I suggest is to remove 'encrypted home' from the test-case.

Best regards
Nio
