This issue is a big enough risk that it seems to me we probably do want to flag it up, but it might even be worth taking the opportunity to hint that this kind of consequence is why it's not recommended.
Fully agree.

Indeed.
Support in `systemd` for opening and mounting encrypted storage devices at boot has been moved into a separate package, `systemd-cryptsetup`, which is recommended by the `systemd` package in trixie. Users of encrypted filesystems should double-check that this package is installed as intended before rebooting. This is a case where overriding standard dependency resolution in `apt` can result in an unbootable system.
I know what you want to say in the last sentence because I have the context, but I don't expect most readers to grasp what you mean here. Probably worth being explicit about that we're talking about "--no-install-recommends" here:
This is a case where overriding standard dependency resolution in `apt` (e.g. by using `--no-install-recommends`) can result in an unbootable system. Paul
