Hello, I would like to suggest a new option in the Debian GUI
installer. Currently, when you enable full disk encryption with LUKS, it
automatically overwrites all the bits in the drive in the secure delete
step before enabling LUKS and installing Debian.
That option does already exist. It is however not obvious. And I always
forget to set it, too.
The option is labelled "Erase data" (yes/no) in the encrypted partition
settings, but it is available in manual partitioning only, not during
guided partitioning. However when the erasure has started, you can stop
it anytime by selecting "Cancel".
