@diwic - I agree, there have been problems in multiple places causing
this.

Yesterday I sorted out one of them. If you have swap on a GPT
partitioned NVMe or MMC drive, ecryptfs-setup-swap isn't correctly
marking the partition as non-auto-mounting, which leads the the user
erroneously being prompted to enter a passphrase to unlock the swap
partition.

I filed a bug about this and have a merge proposal ready for review:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/1597154

This bug has been present in ecryptfs-utils since the original GPT auto
mounting issues was fixed, but not that long ago in 16.04 it didn't
result in being erroneously being prompted to enter a passphrase to
unlock the swap partition. Some some recent-ish behavior change
elsewhere has re-exposed this (I'm guessing a change in systemd).
