Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.6-6
Severity: wishlist
Ok... allowing general use (I mean for all keyscripts) of the
device:path syntax nearly follows from what I've suggested in bug
#509072.
1) This should be documented ;) hurray...
2) While this would break with current configurations I REALLY suggest
to at least think about, whether we should separate device and path in
two separate fields in crypttab.
:-)
Chris.

sorry, but the only other point in this wishlist bug is the wish to
document what you suggested in bug#509072. I consider the request for
documentation as being part of the request for the functionality.
thus i'm closing this bugreport.
greetings,
