Installation fails at partitioning stage, with udisksd hitting "Error
opening /etc/crypttab file: Failed to open file '/etc/crypttab': No such
file or directory (g-file-error-quark, 4)"

The file /etc/crypttab indeed doesn't exist. I'm not sure if this is
actually specific to the /usr move stuff, but it does prevent me being
able to ensure that installation works from a /usr-moved live image. I
have a non-usr-move image also, I'll test install with that.
