partman-crypto to do on-demand loading of components. The result is
that it doesn't use memory if not used at the expense of additional
downloads during partitioning if encryption is desired.
I'm hoping to get some
Package: partman-crypto
Version: 9
Followup-For: Bug #383797
Even though the blowfish / 448 bits combination has been disabled, we
still need to add a keysize / ivalgosize check to partman-crypto, so
I'll change the status of this bug accordingly.

Hi all,
I'd like to start working on getting partman-auto-crypto into d-i again.
As far as I know there are two outstanding issues:
1) Swap on LVM in partman-auto-lvm
I sent an RFC on this more than a month ago. Not much discussion
resulted, I got a few positive comments and no negative

However, I think that we should split it into two screens:
example
Manually edit partition table
Erase disk and create new partitions
Erase disk(s); use LVM for new partitions

What is missing in the patch IMHO is a check if there is actually enough
free memory

Yes, I would say it is OK to enable that ASAP, at least on a trial basis

The previous suggestion tried to load all methods as soon as crypto was

This was a major issue that had been open for a log time.

I've attached the first stab at reorganising the partman-auto menu into
a two level menu.
The first patch shows the changes that I've done to partman-auto and the
second patch shows what changes would be necessary to partman-auto-lvm
(similar changes would be needed for partman-auto-crypto

Why are yes and no not translated?
AFAIK is there some generic code in d-i to translate in a single place.
I have no idea why partman-crypto doesn't use it.
That was bug #382605,
