Given that it is C code built on each architecture, we maybe can only
enable it on Hurd and GNU/kFreeBSD until squeeze is released.

partman-crypto-loop is a good example. The package is theoretically not
installable (due to loop-aes-modules being outdated compared to the
kernel version), so users get the possibility to create a loop-AES
partition. When they validate the partition, a cryptic error message
appears only explaining that the operation has failed, but not
explaining why.
Users should simply not be presented the option in such case.

Thanks for your script. zfsutils-udeb should be installable, but it is
not due to a missing udeb far in the dependency tree. Even if the
dependency is ignored, it won't work...
