This encrypted partition has nothing to do with ecryptfs itself, but
it's created by an ecryptfs setup tool (because of course an ecryptfs
filesystem is not secure when people can potentially read the key from
the swap, so the setup tool proposes to also setup a dm-crypt encrypted
swap).

And I don't think there is a way to detect a partition encrypted with
raw dm-crypt (where raw = an encrypted partition that doesn't have a
LUKS header).  LUKS headers are detected & those partitions are labeled
as such in GParted, so that's not a problem.

PS: if I'm right about this being impossible to detect and thus also
impossible to "fix", the bug should probably be marked as "won't fix"?
