Bug#1103706: debian-installer: Allow user to specify label for LUKS devices setup during install

The right package is actually partman-crypto.

when setting up a LUKS device the installer selects a
name based on the block device backing the encrypted storage and I don't see a
way to override or change it. I'm not fond of the naming scheme used to pick
the LUKS label so I wind up changing it after install. It's not a huge deal but
I would definitely prefer being able to pick my own label during install
instead of having to go back and change it after install.

I agree that using the physical volume block device name is bad because this name may not be persistent.

FWIW an open merge request proposed a naming scheme based on LUKS UUID:
