Testing an new install on a laptop where I have an existing encrypted
PV partition, I noticed that Anaconda offers up, checked by default,
existing encrypted Physical Volumes to use when creating a new VG.
This is very bad because unless the user is careful to uncheck the
partitions backing encrypted PV's, they will end up overwriting their
data without knowing it.
