Hi there

You mentioned, this bug was assigned to the wrong package. Is there a
way to reassign the bug or should one of us open a new bug?

I agree, that this is a very serious bug. /etc/crypttab should use
UUID's in order to be shure and programs using it schould at least check
the partition type.

In my case, i installed Ubuntu 11.04 for test purposes in a multi-boot
environment on a second hard drive. it silently used the old swap
partition on the first drive as an encrypted swap partition for this
test installation - i never added the device manually to /etc/crypttab.
After deleting one - completely unrelated partition !! - a third
partition was damaged after the next reboot from this test installation
(days afterwards). And i am even a rather experienced user. Not to think
about "ordinary" user...
