But that is not what I want to do. I want to use a keyfile for the
*swap* filesystem.

Well, from the root file system I'd expect.

I'm afraid I still don't see why the warning is appropriate. I'd be
glad if you could try to explain again why the swap filesystem cannot
be decrypted using the key from the root filesystem (this can't be
more difficult than using removable media, can it?).

Thanks for your efforts,
