They're switching to Debian to run away from Unity (i don't understand
the rationale but...) and they're wondering why they can't some things
that they could do on Ubuntu.
This doesn't apply in the case of truecrypt since isn't available in
Ubuntu's repositories - except possibly through a ppa (although,
AFAIK, the license would preclude it from being in a ppa). So
installing truecrypt on both Debian and Ubuntu's just a question of
downloading a tarball, expanding it, and running the resulting script.
Fedora's packaging an alternative, tc_play.
