Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.1.3-4
Severity: minor


Hi.

A new upstream version (1.2.0-rc1) is available.

May I suggest to compile it that /dev/random is used per default.
IMHO anybody who might fall into to the "blocking-problem" with that should have to take care on this himself
(e.g. by using the option for urandom).
Security should go first, and I personally think that using encryption in those unattended setups where blockin might happen,
doesn't make much sense at all.


Cheers,
Chris.
