Bug#566497: Please support reusing existing crypt-lvm partitions



Package: debian-installer
Version: 6.0.1a
Severity: normal

many thanks for debian-installer!

i wanted to set up multiple version of debian on an existing LVM volume group
on an existing encrypted partition, but unfortunately debian-installer didn't
seem to support re-using an already existing encrypted partition.

maybe i could manually fiddle around and make sure the encrypted volume and LVM
volume group was activated before the disk partitioning kicks in, but i
couldn't figure that out.

i could manually install with debootstrap and such, but that's no fun.

live well,
