[Debian-on-mobile-maintainers] Bug#1051465: unl0kr: Lacks automated migration when osk-sdl is already installed

[Arnaud Ferraris]

Package: unl0kr
Version: 1.0.0+dfsg-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

unl0kr is meant to replace osk-sdl, which is no longer actively developed.

However, migrating from the latter involves a number of manual steps which are
error-prone and can render the system unusable if not executed properly.

1. unl0kr and osk-sdl can both be present on the system at the same time; this
implies both will be built into the initramfs, even though only osk-sdl will
actually be used.

2. after uninstalling osk-sdl, the crypttab either still points to its
keyscript or doesn't include a keyscript option at all (which is the expected
behaviour if osk-sdl was the only software of this type on the system)

3. in any case, it's up to the user to edit the crypttab to use the unl0kr
keyscript; I believe it can be solved with small changes to calamares-settings-
mobian for new image installs, but existing ones will have trouble migrating to
unl0kr

If both software were still being developed this would probably be fine, but I
expect we'll want to get rid of osk-sdl in the future, and so providing an
automated migration path would be needed.

Regards,
Arnaud
