Possible.
I installed Debian testing from a live CD. During the installation process, I set up 2 encrypted partitions: - btrfs on LVM on LUKS for the root file system - swap on an encrypted partition with a random key

The encrypted partition for the root file system correctly prompted for the passphrase when booting, and worked completely normally.

systemd-cryptsetup package should be installed.
systemd-cryptsetup is a new package split from systemd. systemd recommends it but it may not be available when the base system is installed and/or recommends are ignored.
I am quite puzzled how the resulting system was able to decrypt one partition, but not the other.
The LUKS volume containing the root filesystem is decrypted by the initramfs which does not need systemd-cryptsetup.
