This seems fixed in Intrepid Alpha 5. Tested by creating an two LVs
("Root" and "Swap") in the same LVM VG. "Root" is encrypted with a
passphrase, and "Swap" uses the "random key" option. Tested using
Intrepid alpha 5 i386 under VMware Workstation 6.0.5.

The "random key" option is a bit misleading - I figured it would pseudo-
encrypt the volume by storing the key somewhere in /boot or the
partition header; instead it seems to erase the whole partition on
startup every time. Guess those of us who want to make a key dongle out
of a USB flash disk still have to hack our initrd.

(I suppose I'll have to open a new bug however, because it asks me if I
want to use an encrypted home directory even when /home is already on a
dm-crypt volume.)
