Bug#400600: [Pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#400600: please clarify role of /lib/cryptsetup/cryptdisks.functions

No, because the init scripts can under some conditions still be left on your system even after you've removed the cryptsetup package.

Why? If the cryptdisks.functions script is missing even though you haven't removed the cryptsetup package from your system something is seriously broken. I agree with that opinion. Init scripts and other configuration files stay on your system if the package is removed but not purged. Therefore it is even better if the scripts silently exit in this situation.

Bug#400600: please clarify role of /lib/cryptsetup/cryptdisks.functions
Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.4-8
Severity: wishlist
I originally thought that /lib/cryptsetup/cryptdisks.functions is just to share
code between the scripts /etc/init.d/cryptdisks{,-early}.
But now these scripts just exit with an OK status if this file is not
present/readable... Under my assumption above it should be a grave error
instead.
It would be nice if README.Debian provided documentation how the scripts are
