Though it may seem logical to try, what you're trying to do is, imho, nearly not possible without deep invasive changes. You're indeed doing two partitioning steps. The first creates the partitions and assigns mount points.....but the latteer uses these partitions to create volumes where *logical* volumes will be created. You want the logical volumes to keep the set mount point for the volume containers. But, what if two logical volumes are created, instead of only one, in each partition? So, yes, at some point, the partitioner "forgets" that you assigned /home to /dev/sda6 (for instance)....and you need to assign /home to sda6_crypt once encrypted volumes are created. I see no way to avoid that. Encrypted volumes is a complicated thing, indeed. This is why we have the "Assisté - utiliser tout un disque avec LVM chiffré" option, that does everything automagically.
