Dear community friends,

first of all: sorry to disturb. 
Be it another kind of package, I would silently ignore the versioning 
inconsistency, but in cryptology it is better to be paranoid than sorry.

I am about to instal cryptsetup on my Debian/lenny production desktop 
installation. Checking the version I have found 2:1.0.6-6 for the Debian 
packaging system (http://packages.debian.org/lenny/cryptsetup), while 1.0.5 
last release reported on the project reference homepage 
(http://luks.endorphin.org/dm-crypt).

I would still take it for not-in-sync case between luks and Debian versioning, 
should I not read on Debian page:
Download Source Package cryptsetup: 
[cryptsetup_1.0.6-6.dsc]
[cryptsetup_1.0.6.orig.tar.gz]
[cryptsetup_1.0.6-6.diff.gz]
what resembles original distribution in (unreported) version 1.0.6 again.

Any feedback welcome (even brief "It's ok, just no time to maintain web 
news" - I know the feeling myself ;-) ).

Thanks in advance
