Regardless of what installation image I use I find that no choice exists to not do the complete wiping of the disk before the LVM manager is setup.  I get that it will be possible to press control and c to stop the process but having an option like a choice in the last step asking if you wish to do this complete wipe would be better.  If the system was already encrypted and all you were doing was doing a reinstallation then going threw that process again to     me is pointless.  Is this something that could possibly be looked at for a future release?

I’ve installed Debian with a crypted LVM a few times during the last two months with braille support and I was able to cancel the wiping process of the harddisk during installation without a problem. Do not know how it is when installation is done with speech support only.
