No LUKS, though I intended to later use this install to set LUKS up in a second install on the internal storage. In tasksel I opted for the gnome 3 desktop, ssh server and laptop options (105 keyboard, the three en_US locales, default locale en_US UTF). debootstrap ran successfully, but the produced image would not boot. Instead I saw something that sounds like #85: a blank black screen with a simple cursor sporadically appearing in the upper left hand corner. I attempted to reach other gettys with F1-F6 and various modifier keys but never could.
Same issue with a similar microSD.
But I repeated the installation one more time on the same USB, and this time it booted. Restarted the system for a few times just to be sure it always worked, then I installed the same "release" on the eMMC: installation aborted while installing the base system claiming "no space left on device" (device was the 64GB eMMC).
Also, from this moment forward I couldn't login to the debian "live" on the sdcard: the login screen accepts my user/pass, shows a black screen and then back again to login screen.
I'm now back on stock Debian image.
