Title:
  no option to open an existing encrypted disk

Status in “grub-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “partman-crypto” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: parted

  Attempting to install on an alternate root LV on the encrypted disk,
  there is no way I could find to get the partitioner to open the
  existing luks volume and vgscan/activate it.

  Manually doing the luksOpen, vgscan, vgchange -a y results in an
  installable system where grub-installer fails to find the device to
  finish the install to, presumably because it never got told that we
  were using an encrypted disk.  I do not recall having these issues in
  karmic.
