Hi,

I was able to reproduce this issue with the current stable live cd,
debian-live-6.0.4-amd64-rescue.iso, however it does not occur with
debian-wheezy-DI-b2-amd64-netinst.iso or debian-6.0.5-amd64-CD-1.iso, so
I am confident this bug is specific to installations from the live cd.

I was unable to find a live cd for wheezy or sid, though, so I am not
sure about the status of this bug wrt. the upcoming release.

I tested the installation using KVM virtual machines, the "Graphical
Install" option, and the standard "Guided - use entire disk and set up
encrypted LVM" partitioning method without further customisation. In the
"Finish the installation" step, when asked to eject the cd and reboot,
changing to a virtual console and doing

    cat /target/etc/crypttab

showed 

    # <target name> <source device>         <key file>      <options>

(as created by cryptsetup.preinst) instead of something along the lines
of 

    vda5_crypt UUID=2f8ebff7-f096-47f8-8aae-65fee3129a2f none luks

Please reassign as appropriate,
Florian
