If you want to install Ubuntu in an LUKS-encrypted drive, you have to use Alternate Install CD. It's an annoyance and it limits the use of one of the most interesting thigs Linux offers.

During the partitioning give the user an option to install to encrypted LVM(similar to this in alternate CD). Include lvm and cryptsetup packages in LiveCD.

Selected solution (#2):
Include, and make it more usable with USB authentication

Offer USB keyfile authentication alongside conventional password authentication.
For several years I have been using LUKS/LVM together with a USB-stick to unlock the boot. The method is already fully developed (proving that there is a demand). What's missing is an elegant and integrated way of generating the USB-key without the terminal.

Selected solution (#3):
/home encryption is already offered

For nearly all users, full-disk encryption provides no benefit and significantly interrupts interoperability in dual-booting scenarios. Many users may need encryption of their /home partition; this is a prominent choice in the Ubuntu installer so I would mark this bug as FIXED.
Oh no, someone will steal my laptop and find out I have installed Chromium!
Remember that every single option in the installer has a real cost.
