I'm pretty sure that help with cryptsetup integration into the Debian
Installer (D-I) is highly appreciated by the current D-I developers.
As a starting point, you might want to check the following resources:
request for support to integrate existing encrypted devices in D-I:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=451535
slighly outdated wiki page about cryptsetup integration to D-I:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/PartmanCrypto
git repository with partman-crypto code:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=d-i/partman-crypto.git
Greetings,
jonas
