Well, Debian has indeed everything that's needed for loop-aes, but
it's not very well documented.

1) You need to get your kernel-headers _and_ kernel-source packages,
build-essential,  module-assistant, and all the usual development
packages
2) run "module-assistant fakesource" 
3) run "module-assistant a-i loop-aes"
4) apt-get install loop-aes-utils
5) be happy

Unfortunately Sarge has loop-aes module version 2.0 and loop-aes-utils
version 3.0, but Sid's loop-aes-source works on Sarge flawlessly
