Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.6-6
Followup-For: Bug #495509

I should add that I use timeout on all my servers which may boot
either attended (in this case I can enter the passphrase) or
unattended (because theyare not in someone's office) in which case the
least I want is to get the network in order to mount the encrypted
partition.

Thus I wanted to signal that the timeout feature is useful for my kind
of setup.
