+ Don't change the LUKS password of encrypted disks with the GNOME

+ role="package">gnome-disk-utility</systemitem> package in buster has a
+ very nasty <ulink url="&url-bts;928893">bug (#928893)</ulink> that will
+ delete the old password but fails to correctly set the new password when
+ it is used to change the LUKS password. As a result all data on the disk
+ will become inaccessible.
