[Bug 932603] [NEW] debian-installer / partitioner: can't go back after setting up crypto

[vhahn]

Public bug reported:

When using debian-installer's partitioner, if you set up an encrypted
partition and then set up LVM for this partition, removing the encrypted
partition is not possible anymore.

Even if you remove all LVM volumes and the volume group again, the
installer still denies access to the physical partition set up for
encryption -- saying it is in use.

In my case, I wanted to set up a root encrypted system but forgot the
unencrypted boot partition. The only way I found to correct my mistake
was by rebooting. Even going back one step in the installer didn't give
me access to the partition.
