Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cryptsetup

I am using an encrypted root and swap partition. As long as I enter the
keys manually ("none" in /etc/crypttab), everything works fine.

Now I wanted to save the key for the swap fs on the root fs as I did for
other encrypted filesystems. However, for the swap partition, this
results in update-initramfs complaining that:

> cryptsetup: WARNING: target sda7_crypt uses a key file, skipped

Probably as a result of this, I can no longer resume the system, it
always performs an ordinary boot.

I see no real reason why this should be a problem. If I enter both keys
over the keyboard, I am first asked for the key of the root fs, so it
seems to me that there should be no problem in retrieving the key for
the swap fs from the just mounted root fs.
