by convenience you create first an encrypted partition and setup lvm upon it

you then do (as root)
        vgscan 
or 
        lvm vgscan 
and 
        vgchange -a y 
to get the partitions activated. The initrd scripts of debian are designed
to do this automatically.

If you want to do something smart then follow the smart ones and you'll get
a pay off as I did ;-)

concerning your original problem I would use something like raid device and
put all on top of it.
