Package: cryptsetup
Version: 20050111-3

The packages includes the file
/usr/share/doc/cryptsetup/README.html
which was obviously downloaded from
http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/

The web document, however, is newer than the version included in the package. 
In particular, it mentions how to avoid the watermark attack, which can be 
used against dm-crypt (and cryptoloop) in its default configuration.
(See http://mareichelt.de/pub/notmine/diskenc.pdf
for a paper discussing this vulnerability ). This information is important to 
avoid the vulnerability.

The README.html should be updated to the newest version (possibly minus any 
changes which only apply to the latest version of cryptsetup).
