Thanks for the help! I did some more research and this appears to be
the only method to reuse encrypted partitions. Even worse no matter
what option you choose your encrypted partition will be wiped:
I had first installed i386 system with encrypted /home and swap. Then I
decided to install also amd64 build -- reusing both encrypted
partitions. Although I checked out smth like 'delete data' in the
encryption setup menu, which I treated as 'preserve/dont touch', it
did reinitialize them and I had to recreate filesystems on top.

The user isn't warned and the data contained in the encrypted volume
will be killed without notice,
even if the same password is supplied.
I suggest to give the user the option of reusing the encrypted device
or at least give a big fat warning
that his data will be killed, if he proceeds one step further.
given the current lack of manpower
working on partman-crypto, I doubt this is fixed unless someone comes
up with a patch.
