Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
When upgrading a sysv system (jessie) to openrc, if the partition table
includes a lvm partition with physical volume an encrypted partition,
installing openrc will render the system unbootable.
That is, the system will hang like so:

with the "perf interrupt" occuring after a few minutes of waiting and no
further activity.
This is a major problem because this partition layout is one of those
*recommended by the installer* for automatic partitioning. As far as I can
tell, openrc is capable of booting both encrypted and LVM partitions
individually, but not both.
The minimized partition layout I use which fails is:
- disk 1: MSDOS table
- partition 1: 200MB ext4, /boot
- partition 2: *, physical volume for encryption
- subpartition 1: *, physical volume for LVM
- subsubpartition 1: * ext4, /
