It is mysterious to me as well, although I'm not entirely positive that it
should be assigned to partman-crypto, I think there may be something else
going on. As I sit here right now, the installation is stalled out again on
"Loading Additional Components" at 56%, "Configuring base-installer". All
drive activity has ceased for a couple minutes here. And now... Hitting
"LEFT SHIFT" gets the process moving along again, virtually instantly the
progress bar fills, drive activity picks up and we move along. This is
_before_ I make any partitioning choices, and I believe that whatever is
causing this problem is also the root of the encryption / disk wipe problem.
It seems that it is just more pronounced there. I'd also wager that other
people seeing this touch a key on their keyboard to see if the machine seems
locked up, and since it picks up again, they just shrug it off.

I really ahve no idea where to go to dig further into this. It almost seems
kernel level... I'm going to burn an earlier alpha and see if it does the
same thing.
