Bug#795735: partman-crypto: always encrypt swap
Package: partman-crypto
Severity: wishlist
Tags: d-i
Could we enable encryption of swap by default, even when full disk
encryption is not used? As far as I undrestand, there is no
performance issue for this for most hardware made in the past
half-decade. Swap encryption also doesn't require the user to enter a
password: it can be generated on the fly for each boot.
This was suggested in the Debian GnuPG BoF at Debconf15.
