This should handle installation scenarios we can handle with
anything resembling confidence. Goal is approximating the existing
setup--not enforcing a best-practice...
Approaches (+ installer-handled, - manual) and configs each covers:
+ no change needed; /nix OK on boot volume:
All pre-Catalina (regardless of T2 or FileVault use)
+ create new unencrypted volume:
Catalina, pre-T2, no FileVault
+ create new encrypted-at-rest volume:
Catalina, pre-T2, FileVault
Catalina, T2, no FileVault
- require user to pre-create encrypted volume
Catalina, T2, FileVault

creating mountpoints or symlinks for special usecases like package
managers.
