[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#614118: [harri at afaics.de: Bug#614118: error-prone command line options]

Hey Milan,

Maybe you've already read the bugreport below.

To me it's a matter of taste whether the cryptsetup commands are
case-sensitive or not. One might either argue that it doesn't hurt to
support lowercase commands like 'luksformat' and 'luksopen' as well, or
argue that commandline options are _always_ case-sensitive for common
commandline applications.

If you decide that cryptsetup commands stay case sensitive, then I'll
simply tag the bugreport as wontfix.

greetings,
 jonas

cryptsetup shouldn't be so picky about upper and lower case characters
on the command line. The current options "LuksOpen", "LuksClose", etc.
have no advantage over "luksopen", "luksclose", etc. but they are much
more error-prone.

Harri
