Hi,
I wasn't sure where to report this, so I'm shooting here.
I recently installed Debian 10.2 on a new machine, and went with manual
partitioning, putting the swap on an encrypted mdraid with a random key,
and the result is that booting the system would have a very large delay
on boot.

Hi,
I used the sarge image to install Debian on my new laptop and would like
to give you some feedback about that experience.
Installing is the kind of thing i usually don't do, Debian being
