LMDE: Please! Please! I want to encrypt my $HOME!

A little rant:
Why in the hell LMDE doesn't have the option to encrypt -at least- your home during the installation?
And if that it's not possible; what about an encrypted LVM?
I mean, even Lubuntu has that option during the plain vanilla install...
Been playing a bit with the Cinnamon version of LMDE and the thing feels amazingly snappy... It is a shame I can't use it just because encrypting stuff it is a major PITA.
