[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#580898: cryptsetup: README.initramfs missing important information

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.6-7
Severity: normal

When using a fat32 formated USB passdev I couldn't get it to work until
I added these lines to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules:

vfat
fat
nls_cp437
nls_iso8859_1
nls_utf8

'update-initramfs -u' is needed after the changes.
Might be that the real bug is that those files aren't being added in the
initrd image automagically. But I bet it wouldn't hurt to mention that
you need to take care the modules your passdev's filesystem needs, need
to be in the initrd image.
