Just to be absolutely clear: on both the original system, and on a second
system (to confirm), I have very carefully gone through every partitioning
option, and checked that *none* of them recognise the existing partitions
in the encrypted volume. But note also that just before reaching that stage,
anaconda prompts me for the password for sda2, so in principle it has the
information needed to retrieve that partitioning data.
