Comments/Problems:
1. The install into an encrypted partition worked well, albeit somewhat
slow ;-) In addition to the encrypted installation partition, it
correctly created an unencrypted boot partition and encrypted swap.
2. The installation did not detect the existing Lubuntu 10.04
and wanted to install grub into the master boot record (I did not
allow that).
3. the grub installer was unable to install grub into any partition of
the harddisk, encrypted or not. So I could not boot into wheezy.
4. Manually editing the configuration of the existing grub-legacy in the
master boot record, I was able to boot into wheezy.
So, grub seems to be the only problem of wheezy, at least for me.
Thanks for your good work!
