[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#509074: cryptsetup: allow general use of the device:path syntax in crypttab and perhaps separate the two values

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.6-6
Severity: wishlist

Ok... allowing general use (I mean for all keyscripts) of the  
device:path syntax nearly follows from what I've suggested in bug  
#509072.

1) This should be documented ;) hurray...
2) While this would break with current configurations I REALLY suggest  
to at least think about, whether we should separate device and path in  
two separate fields in crypttab.

:-)
Chris.
