done, see <http://code.eth0.is-a-geek.org/ubuntu>. I don't know how to make a
d-i cd, so I haven't tested at all and it probably doesn't work. Also,
partman-basicfilesystems sets up /etc/fstab for encrypted swap, but still
depends on base-config setting up /etc/crypttab using the already set up fstab.
If anybody has ideas for how to set up crypttab from partman-basicfilesystems,
I'll work on it.

I might have been using an older version, I'll take a look at this later.
