cryptsetup (2:1.0.5-2ubuntu10) hardy; urgency=low

  * debian/initramfs/cryptroot-script: Do not mention the name of the
    encrypted device. It is just technobabble anyway (sda4_crypt), and there
    is just one root partition ever, so it is not needed to tell apart
    different partitions. From a security POV, someone who can change your
    initramfs to boot a different root partition can just as well change the
    strings, too. (LP: #201413)
