Unfortunately, too many people don't use encrypted filesystems, one
reason for this being that a lot of system tools don't properly
support this.

Encryption is good, we should support and encourage it. Our installer
offers to install encryption, so it is available to even clueless
users. Please consider poking upstream to finally implement some way
to prompt the user on a splash screen so that we can offer full
encryption support in Debian squeeze.

It has been there since april 2009, and no visible development
happened in splashy since then.

Where is splashy going for Debian squeeze?
