Title:
  FFe: Switch Ubuntu Unity to using Calamares

Status in calamares-settings-ubuntu package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Filing this under calamares-settings-ubuntu as this is where the
  majority of the code will be.

  Ubuntu Unity intends on moving away from the Ubiquity installer this
  cycle. As discussed with team lead Rudra Saraswat on Matrix, the goal
  is to move to the Calamares installer currently used by Lubuntu and
  Kubuntu. (The Ubuntu Desktop Installer was considered but does not
  appear to be Ubuntu Unity's intended installer at the moment.)

  I believe this is relatively safe change to make, as I did the
  majority of the work to port Calamares to Kubuntu, and it was able to
  be ported to using Calamares in a couple of days. The remaining work
  was mainly due to development of brand new features (almost all of
  which will simply be ported to Ubuntu Unity rather than being created
  from scratch). Furthermore, a thorough testing checklist exists for
  flavors that use Calamares, helping to catch both flavor-specific and
  Ubuntu-wide bugs in Calamares. This checklist is used regularly by
  Lubuntu for every release, and would easily be applicable to Ubuntu
  Unity as well.

  Upon completion, all existing Ubuntu Calamares features will be
  enabled for Ubuntu Unity, including OEM installation mode, a try or
  install screen with network and localization selection menus, and full
  disk encryption with unencrypted /boot. This will require the
  following packages to be modified:

  * calamares-settings-ubuntu: Add config for Ubuntu Unity
  * casper: Automatically log into an ubuntu-unity-live-environment X session to start the installer prompt screen, provide the installation icon on Ubuntu Unity's desktop
  * debian-cd: Remove Ubiquity preseed, adjust GRUB menu entries to only provide a "Try or Install Ubuntu Unity" entry, as the OEM installation mode will be triggered from within the live environment rather than from the GRUB menu

  NO LONGER APPLICABLE:

  * ubuntu-unity-installer-prompt (which will be a NEW package): Port
  installer prompt screen to Ubuntu Unity
