encrypted home-directory is not unmounted on logout

Bug description:
Current Situation:
If you log out from an user account with an encrypted home directory,
it is not automatically unmounted and encrypted again.
Expected behaviour:
If I log out from an user account with an encrypted home directory, Id expect
the homedir to be unmounted and encrypted again.
Stepts to reproduce:
log into an account with encrypted home directory. (lets call it: user)
Log out again
log into another account (which has sudo rights, lets call it: user2)
and now enter the following into a terminal:
user2@ubuntu: sudo su
user2@ubuntu: ls -la /home/user
you can see the files of the user
Reasons:
This is a security issue, because as a user you can reasonable expect your
data to be safe, if you log out. if you would simply log in as another user but
keep your data accessable you would simply switch user, instead of loggin out.
Many users only suspend their laptop while carrying it with them. Logging out
and suspending the user expects to have at least the home directory encrypted.
