forcemerge 451535 529343

Already reported as #451535. given the current lack of manpower
working on partman-crypto, I doubt this is fixed unless someone comes
up with a patch.

Please note that #451535 points to
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Rescue/Crypto that documents a
method to reuse existing encrypted filesystems. Please also note that
I have absolutely no clue about all this..:)
