Michael and I researched and discussed this in IRC recently.
First of all, the code in the ecryptfs-utils pre-removal script is doing
exactly what it is supposed to do -- it detects that you are in fact
using ecryptfs for your encrypted home or encrypted private and the pre-
removal script *refuses* to allow ecryptfs to be removed. Otherwise, if
ecryptfs-utils was successfully removed, you would be completely locked
out of your home or private, until you forcibly reinstalled ecryptfs-
utils.
That said, there is a bug here, in why apt thinks that ecryptfs-utils
can be removed.
Michael suggested that perhaps the best solution to this problem would
be to have adduser recommend (rather than suggest) ecryptfs-utils. I
agree with his assessment. I'm moving this bug over to adduser, and
will fix it there in Natty.
This is, perhaps, a candidate for an SRU, IMHO, as there have been many,
many duplicates.
