encrypted VM images support

[adrelanos]

Would be nice if encryption was supported for VM images (using standard dm-crypt).

This is interesting since (VM) raw images created by grml-debootstrap can also potentially be written (dd) to USB or other hard drives.

The masterkey would be known to the public but users could use cryptsetup-reencrypt to fix that once booted for the first time.

It's possible. This guide explains using debootstrap on encrypted LVM.

@adrelanos yeah, (full disk) encrypted systems are possible, but the way VM images are created is a bit more special, so that might not be entirely straight forward, though technically possible as well :)
