Currently, when you enable full disk encryption with LUKS, it automatically overwrites all the bits in the drive in the secure delete step before enabling LUKS and installing Debian.That option does already exist. It is however not obvious. And I always forget to set it, too.
The option is labelled "Erase data" (yes/no) in the encrypted partition settings, but it is available in manual partitioning only, not during guided partitioning. However when the erasure has started, you can stop it anytime by selecting "Cancel".
