Where has the "Erase entire disk and ..." part of this menu entry (and
the one for auto-lvm disappeared to? IIRC that was in the original
discussion.

How about changing them to:
"Select disk to partition (please note that the entire disk will
be erased):"

What's against bringing it back in the method dialog?

Nothing, it's a matter of taste (meaning it's up to you to decide) :)

But I think it might be a bit confusing to see the "regular" entries on the method dialog and a similar entry for the other methods but without the disk:

"Erase entire disk: IDE1 Master (hda) - 1.1Gb Qemu harddisk"
"Erase entire disk: IDE2 Master (hdb) - 1.1Gb Qemu harddisk"
...
"Erase entire disk and automatically set up encrypted lvm"

The user would probably be left wondering which disk the last option refers to...not knowing that the disk choice will be the subject of the next dialogue?
