[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#931749: cryptsetup: "no longer required" on encrypted system!

[Conrad J.C. Hughes (for Debian package stuff)]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:2.1.0-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

So this is probably a buster upgrade issue, but not sure where to report it..

After upgrading to buster, deborphan --guess-dummy (seemingly correctly)
identified cryptsetup as a transitional dummy package, suitable for removal.
However after removing cryptsetup, apt now tells me all the time that
cryptsetup-bin, cryptsetup-initramfs and cryptsetup-run "were automatically
installed and are no longer required".  But my system's LUKS1-on-LVM-RAID-1..
Running "apt autoremove" at this point would surely cause chaos?

Conrad
