Currently the only way I can do this is to install using VMware Player to a .vmdk and configure for encrypted LVM. Then I mount the .vmdk and copy the image over and rename some stuff using a script, so if I make a mess I can change the script and restart fromthe reference image.
I still have tomanagegrub.cfg by hand as Ubuntu and Debian try to overwrite it when a new kernel comes along. Also, you need a separate /boot partition, outside of LVM.
