I'm willing to bottom-line this, depending on what are we talking here - a preseed option, or modifications to something deeper and more involved? Where can I get more information about this? Should I be looking into d-i, or debian/mipsel? My first priority is getting a usable encrypted system, but this is something that _has_ to work for me to be able to recommend gNS, so I'll see what I can do.
