Dear loop-aes maintainers,
dear Max,

I want to install a debian lenny system on a notebook and would
like to encrypt root and swap in the most transparent and debian
like way (especially with respect to kernel updates and
hibernation).  The version of loop-aes-utils in lenny is frocen
since the etch release (why is it frozen after etchs release?).

Do you think it's safe to build loop-aes-utils from unstable on
the lenny system and use it? 

I'm unsure which public forum would be appropriate for questions
regarding the installation and maintenance of loop-aes for debian
systems (linux-crypto mailing list?).  Please feel free to answer
to such public forum if you consider this to be of public interest.

Thanx for your work on loop-aes integration in debian and d-i, Gregor
