Just add the option "Guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM" to the GUI installer also. This should be fairly trivial, as the code is already there in the alternate installer.

I think it would be better to not clutter up the preset area and instead, when you select manual setup, add a check box similar to the current 'format partition' checkbox that allows you to encrypt certain applicable partitions... partitions that are irrelevant for encryption(like a current ntfs or a swap partition) would be darked out and not allow you to check them.

This would allow those who need/want encryption to easily install it and would avoid confusing other less tech-savvy users who just want to get Ubuntu installed on their computer.

User should have both, automatic and manual options to install Ubuntu to encrypted lvm volumes. Automatic is nice to fresh install whereas manual selection allows to choose from aleready existing partitions without need to format eg. full of user data /home partition.
