I assume that there is really nothing i386 specific in this list of

Yes, the modules should be available for all 2.6 kernels for all arches.
I would prefer to keep things minimal by only including modules actually
used by encryption methods that partman-crypto supports using. Does it
support every module in this list?
It would be trivial to support all of them. It's an entirely different
question if we want to do so. The patches I'm writing right now for
partman-crypto has preliminary support for aes, blowfish, twofish and
serpent (but adding more is as simple as editing a few text files).
In addition, sha256 is needed for the IV generation algorithm.
So a minimal list is right now:
aes
blowfish
twofish
serpent
sha256
Max, do you already have this stuff sorted out and patches created?
Don't want to duplicate effort.
As far as I understood things when talking to Max prior to submitting
this bug report, the answer is no. Max has focused on the loop-AES
implementation and not this stuff (device-mapper).

David
