Before I proceed with your suggestion, while in Resuce Mode, do I enter the encryption passphrase or not? If I don't enter the password, /dev/perfect-vg/root won't be mounted.

Even after I've entered the encryption passphrase, there are two ways to execute a shell: one is to execute it in /dev/perfect-vg/root environment and the other is to execute it in the installer environment. Which environment do you want me to executve a shell in please?

What did you mean by "full access to all filesystems"? When I was installing Debian 11, I first encrypted a free space with LUKS and then created two logical volumes in it: one whose mount point is / (the root file system. Debian installer requires it; otherwise the installation can't and won't proceed.) while the other is "used as" swap area.

That's a logical assumption because I needed the USB-installer to boot into Rescue Mode.

I had to enter the encryption passphrase first, followed by mounting /dev/perfect-vg/root as a root file system temporarily. Then I chose 'Execute a shell in the installer environment' and only then would I be able to chroot /target

That's why I asked for help here.

Could you be so nice as to give me the command(s) to bind mount the directory with packages? Thank you.
