Package: partman-crypto
Severity: wishlist

The naming of crypto devices as hda1_crypt causes df to use two
lines for each filesystem. Please consider using just cr_hda1
instead.

I agree. The issue exists with LVM and other setups too, and is 
nothing we can fix by avoiding long names in partman-crypto only. 
If it boils down to a question of aesthetics, I must say that
cr_hda1 feels less aesthetically pleasing to me since it is less
"discoverable" and expressive, thus closing.
