Great, thanks! This was enough to motivate me to (procrastinate and)
create tickets for the next steps.

Added this info to the blueprint:
https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/replace_truecrypt/

So, it looks like the next thing to do is:

  #6337 - Add support for TrueCrypt volumes in udisks

I've created this ticket in our bug tracker, and requested the feature
upstream:

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70164

This upstream feature request has way more chance to be fulfilled if
someone proposes a patch. Any taker?

Cheers,
