Is ecryptfs behind the scenes when I run /sbin/cryptsetup ?

I remember a few years back, still on debian, I resolved to replace my
encfs usage with something more "modern" (phew) just to avoid getting
left in the cold with no support, as may be happening to Meino.  The
first such modern thing that came to mind was what ubuntu (and maybe
debian) used to mount encrypted filesystems on boot, and I think that
was called ecryptfs, but that was so very complex and opaque that I
didn't get far.  After a while I found my current way usign cryptsetup.

But the ubuntu stuff may have been just wrapping and packaging, hence
my question.
