Hello Tobias,

Indeed, os-prober (which we rely on to find existing installations)
won't be able to cope with encrypted filesystems.

And while in theory, a user could run `cryptsetup open <dev> <name>`, I
doubt we have the logic in place to do the reverse mapping from <name>
to the mapped filesystem.

Now, if we want to make that possible, I'd suggest we start with LVM
installations *without* encryption. This is probably a good first step
in the right direction.

Thanks,
Olivier
