I haven't used a recent version of the Debian Installer for etch (Debian's upcoming new release) but I believe that it now supports setting up encrypted partitions at installation time, which would save a lot of trouble and pain. Max Vozeler should know more about the details since he's the Debian loop-aes advocate and maintains the loop-aes packages in Debian. Max?
