Hi Jonas

Thanks for catching that.  The changes in the number of spaces was a
mistake due to having vim:tw=70 and rejoining the lines with "J".  Two
spaces is IMHO preferable but trumped by consistency.

Okay, I had a look at it.  By "debian-specific" do you mean the
manpages and docs under /u/s/d/cryptsetup/ ?

I found very little to be changed, just:

CryptoRoot.HowTo:
/you'dd/you'd/

CryptoSwap.HowTo:
/your swap own/your swap/ 
s/reaktivate/reactivate/
