post installation: no mounting encrypted partitions

While installing OS there is a valid option to encrypt this or that partition, for example /home.

When the main installation stage is finished there is post installation process (after booting up this time from HDD). And in case of encrypted /home it displays just message that there is partition with mount point /home but it is not mounted, so if it is OK to continue with creation of user accounts.

Well, of course it is not mounted because it takes a password to mount it. And all it takes is asking not user if she/he wants to continue, but asking about password.

Opensuse should support its own solutions! And I don't think it it so easy for regular user to reboot the system in runlevel 3, unmount /home, move all users directories, mount /home, move dirs back. Not mentioning a bit of panic when newly installed system cannot start because of lack of any user account.

I consider this major severity, but on the other hand no data had been lost so far, so I leave to default.
