(das is etwa komisch, dass ich es niemals bemerkt hatte…)

I've checked the same issue happens with other D-I Jessie * releases,
but not with the current Wheezy installer. The fact is there's no text
at all in partman-crypto 57.

It's slightly sad, because the idea was to tell people about the
possibility to skip this step. The commit message actually mentions the
issue we're having:
  http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/partman-crypto.git/commit/?id=426da9de1bca4a0e5a1599f98eededebbda6ad0a

I doubt there's much to do at this point. :(

Mraw,
KiBi.
