Bug Description
Since Ubuntu stores its filesystem in the user data partition it will fail to boot if the user has enabled encryption on their phone. The phone will appear to be frozen at the "Google" splash screen.
In order for this to work some mechanism must be added to the Ubuntu boot sequence to decrypt the data partition with the user's key before the attempt is made to mount the root filesystem.

Moving to wishllist.
This will require changes in Ubuntu boot image, which goes against principle of this project, enabling Ubuntu/Android dualboot without any changes to Ubuntu or Android OS.
