Bug#465314: gnome should install cryptsetup and dmsetup packages by default

Package: gnome-desktop-environment
Version: 2.20.3-1
Severity: minor

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

When encrypted device (usb disk) is inserted into fresh
Debian Lenny machine, "Unlock Encrypted Data" dialog pops up
and asks for a password. However, this never works, because
to unlock the drive Gnome requires cryptsetup script,
which in turn depends on dmsetup package.

It would be best to have dmsetup and cryptsetup installed
by default if Gnome is installed.

To reproduce the bug:

Encrypt USB disk with the following command:
cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sdX1
Insert USB disk into newly installed Lenny or Etch machine.
The dialog "Unlock Encrypted Data" appears and asks
for a password. No password would work.

Now install cryptsetup and dmsetup packages. Pull out
and plug in USB disk back. The dialog appears again,
but now password works and disk is mounted by Gnome.
