as promised, here are some remarks.
First the good news: With the addition of the passphrase support there
is nothing left which needs to be done on FAI side. I'll write a howto
for my blog how to do such an installation, which could be linked in
the FAI wiki.

However, it really should work out of the box with the new feature,
except that the person creating the FAI configuration has to consider
some requirements:

- cryptoroot initrd support in Debian Lenny requires busybox
- initramfs-tools are required (initrd-tools wouldn't work)

Best Regards,
Patrick
