Hello,
A new partition.conf was added in the calamares-settings-debian package. In 
that file, there is a line "luksGeneration: luks2", which is installing 
forky/testing systems that cannot be booted by grub, dropping user to the grub 
prompt. When partition.conf does not exist (as is in Trixie), this setting 
defaults to luks1. I read that grub has some support for unlocking luks2 
partitions, however, I think it is not complete. This bug report has more 
information: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55093.
The partition.conf file also includes a line "initialSwapChoice: none", which 
skips creating a swapfile on the installed live system. This is a change from 
Trixie which defaulted to creating a swapfile that was double or the same size 
as ram, depending on how much ram was installed in  the users machine. The old 
behavior can be restored with "initialSwapChoice: suspend". I personally do not 
have a preference for the default choice of this setting. I decided to mention 
it, because I didn't notice an entry for it in the changelog, so I thought it 
might be an unintentional change. One data point I noticed while looking into 
this, is that the guided partitioning in Debian Installer creates a swap 
partition.
