My desired configuration is as follows:

/boot unencrypted
loop-aes #1 AES256, GPG key
loop-aes #2 AES256, random key

d-i tells me that it is preparing #1 but after generating enough randomness it fails with "An error has occured while configuring encrypted volumes."

The syslog shows

partman-crypto: ioctl: LOOP_SET_STATUS: Invalid argument, requested cipher or key length (256 bits) not supported by kernel.

Source: partman-crypto
Binary: partman-crypto-dm partman-crypto partman-crypto-loop Architecture: source all amd64
Version: 20etch1
Distribution: stable
Urgency: low
Maintainer: Debian Install System Team <debian-boot@lists.debian.org> Changed-By: Jérémy Bobbio <lunar@debian.org> Description:

 partman-crypto - Add to partman support for block device encryption (udeb)
 partman-crypto-dm - Add to partman support for dm-crypt encryption (udeb)
 partman-crypto-loop - Add to partman support for loop-AES encryption (udeb)

• For hd-media installs the module loop will already be loaded, which prevents loop-aes from being loaded. Attempt to replace loop with loop-aes by unmounting the CD image, replacing the module and remounting the image. As losetup is not available, we cannot check what exactly is loop-mounted, so we just assume that loop is only used for a CD image. Many thanks to Nemui Ailin for identifying the issue.
