It works for me here using d-i. There could be many ways to do this. I tried several before. I now have both root and swap on a LVM partition which is on an encrypted partition with LUKS. (Of course, /boot is unencrypted and also I installed another backup system there as / for rescue.) Your answe can be found in Google: "LVM encrypt root debian squeeze" http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=46874 http://wiki.debian.org/AesXtsEncryptedLvm (OLD and easier method exists but still good to read) These looks good reading.
