I'm assuming this is too late for Quantal.  I'm suggesting this change
for R.  Thanks.

** Description changed:

  When choosing full disk encryption in the quantal version of Ubiquity,
  the resulting /boot partition seems small.
  
  In my test installation /boot came to 228MB.
  
  Assuming that each kernel+initrd comes to about 30MB, that doesn't leave
- too many kernel upgrades.  I'm not sure that would cover an 18 month
- support cycle.
+ much space for old kernels/initrds as kernel upgrades pile-up.  I'm not
+ sure that would cover an 18 month support cycle.
  
- Of course, one can clean out old kernels, but not everyone realizes
- that.  And at that size, it might take some savvy users by surprise.

  My suggestion would be 512MB or higher.  Thanks.
