Bug Description

Binary package hint: cryptsetup

Hi,

cryptsetup's diff from Debian currently changes some uses of
copy_exec to use the two argument form, as the single argument
form didn't use to work.

Since version 0.88 of initramfs-tools the two argument version
works correctly, and the Debian package of cryptsetup has a versioned
dependency that will ensure that this will work, so the difference
can be dropped with the next update.

Thanks,

James

except that this makes backporting the package (e.g. to hardy)
harder. I'm inclined to keep the diff in order to avoid the versioned
runtime dependency.
