Bug#486360: debian-installer: loop-aes root fs encryption unusable due to incomplete initrd

[wirr <irrwege@gmx.net>]

Package: debian-installer
Version: lenny beta 2
Severity: normal

This problem applies to both the newt as well as the gtk interface.
When encrypting the root partition using loop-aes (cipher AES256) 
the system hangs in the initramfs shell after reboot, waiting for the 
root files system.

1. During the installation the GPG keyfile gets stored under 
/target/etc/loopkeys/ and not copied into the initrd image.

2. The following required binaries and libs are missing in the 
initrd image:
/bin/gpg
/sbin/losetup
/lib/libresolv.so.2
/lib/libusb-0.1.so.4
/lib/libz.so.1

3. The initrd is missing a script probing for AES-encrypted partitions 
and asking for passphrases


Fixing this would probably require some modifications to 
/usr/lib/finish-install.d/05crypto.
