For reference, I also wanted crashdumps to work with my encrypted swap partition, and was pleasantly surprised by that all I needed to do was add 'late' to the eli swap fstab entries options, and then point dumpdev to the underlying partition. I panicked the system using debug.kdb.panic, and after rebooting, my crashdump sat in /var/crash. Since this leaks a lot of unencrypted information to the swap partition, I'll only enable this, if I really need it.
