At Free IT Athens, we do this by adding the secure-delete package to the
live cd and preseeding the following as part of
ubiquity/success_command.

sfill -llv /target; \
swapoff /dev/sda5 && sswap -llv /dev/sda5 && swapon /dev/sda5; \

In order to see the progress, it's necessary to have something like

exec < /dev/tty6 > /dev/tty6; \
chvt 6; \

before you call sfill. Integration in Ubiquity would be certainly be
preferable to this hack.
