Something like the attached patch should suffice. Is it acceptable?
Is it a specific set of devices you need or do they vary depending on the
crypto method used or number of encrypted partitions?
I think using mknod would be preferred over just copying the devices.
Is there any way you can detect whether crypto is in use (from /proc or
something) and create the devices using mknod?
I intend to upload base-installer with the changes needed for partman
crypto after this is settled.
Ok, here's a new version which uses mknod and only creates the node on
which root resides (if any).
