When installing Ubuntu 10.04 on a new machine, it seems I forgot to enable user folder encryption. Is there any way to add this feature after the fact?

It's easy enough to use cryptsetup to enable LUKS on a partition, but there may be additional steps that Ubuntu needs, such as rebuilding of the initrd.
