Thats going to be a lot of very bad PR.

It's the release teams call, generally speaking, and one of the things
they might factor in is the size of the user-base for the troublesome
package. I'm surprised to find that it's extremely small according to
popcon data: less than 1% of reporters:
https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=ecryptfs-utils

Compare just two alternatives:

encfs: 1.14% https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=encfs
cryptsetup: 15% https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=cryptsetup
