It uses a standalone C program. See http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=d-i/partman-crypto.git;a=tree;f=blockdev-wipe There is a Makefile to just build this small utility. Maybe you can reproduce the error by just calling "blockdev-wipe". But be warned this will wipe your data ;-). The installer calls this with "blockdev-wipe -s 65536 $dev" in lib/crypto-base.sh.
