partman-auto-crypto (which does the guided crypto setup) uses
partman-crypto for the crypto setup and then uses partman-auto-lvm for the
rest.
The passphrase questions (passphrase and confirm passphrase) are generated
by get_passphrase() in partman-crypto/blockdev-keygen which uses the
"partman-crypto/passphrase" and "partman-crypto/passphrase_again"
templates which are of type "password".
This seems to work fine in the text installer (the dialogue does not echo
the passphrase when entered as it would if the templates were of type
"string").
I'm not sure exactly what problem you're experiencing with the graphical
installer?
