[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#801471: cryptsetup: Update remote unlocking via SSH due following the dropbear 2015.68-1 release.

[Guilhem Moulin]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.6.6-5
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

Since 2015.68-1 (which has just been uploaded in the NEW queue) [0] the
‘dropbear’ package is now a transitional dummy package for

  dropbear-bin - command line tools
  dropbear-initramfs - initramfs integration
  dropbear-run - startup scripts

Hence /usr/share/doc/cryptsetup/README.Debian.gz section 8, as well as
/usr/share/doc/cryptsetup/README.remote.gz, have to be updated to point
to the new package name (dropbear-initramfs) and to mention the new
features and configuration options.  Patch enclosed.

However, perhaps the material found in /usr/share/doc/cryptsetup/README.remote.gz
should be shipped by dropbear-initramfs instead?  The only purpose of
that package is to install drobpear to the initrd, which might have other
uses than remote cryptroot unlocking.  This would also be easier for us
dropbear maintainers to update the documentation.

Cheers,
-- 
Guilhem.
