Bug#391664: partman-auto-crypto: Some questions and issues



Package: partman-auto-crypto
Version: 2

(1)
In autopartition-crypto there is a somewhat dangerous double use of 
"$dev"; it would possibly be better to use separate variables. be better 
to use separate variables.
I also wonder what that loop actually does. Why is it needed to loop over 
$DEVICES when you have been passed a specific $dev? Would it be possible 
that some other disk already has a method "crypto" (from a previous 
installation maybe) and thus is used by mistake?

(2)
Choosing guided partitioning again after setting up crypto and choosing 
regular LVM fails because encrypted partition is in use...

(3)
Choosing  guided partitioning again after setting up crypto and choosing 
regular partitioning works, but encrypted volume and LVM stuff is still 
shown...

For both (2) and (3) we should just make sure things are cleaned up 
properly as we are going to scratch the disk anyway. How can an encrypted 
partition be "released"?
If that is too complicated, we should at least catch that situation in 
partman-auto and display an error message (like we did for LVM until very 
recently).
