[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#883674: cryptsetup should depend on lvm2

[Krzysztof Sobolewski]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.7.5-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I spent a couple of hours today investigating why my system with an encrypted 
root suddenly stopped booting. The symptom was that the initrd could not find
the root device. The cause turned out to be that the cryptsetup's hooks were
not included in the initramfs. The cause of that turned out to be a missing
lvm2 package, which some chain of events led to removal of from my system.
This package is, obviously, rather relevant and it would be nice if the
dependency system enforced its presence.

Thanks!
