In addition the loop-AES tools lack the initramfs integrationto do the work (in the initramfs) for setting up the root partition.
Max talks about only having to tell partman-lvm that it may consider loop devices as valid backing devices. Your description of the solution in contrast sounds far more time consuming and difficult...:)
So, can you tell me what's to do? I have checked out the source code of the debian installer and am currently reading the documentation, which is a good amount of text. I will see if I can manage to create my own boot disk, that will be an adventure already :)
For now, your alternatives are to use dm-crypt or to implement the missingpieces in the loop-AES packages.
I installed using dm-crypt now, but I really would like to try loop- aes. I hope I will find the time to take a look at partman-crypt :)
