I personally don't own such hardware, and I never have userd
cryptsetup's keyscript support. So I'm probably not the most qualified
to evaluate the situation.
That said, reading the upstream discussion, I guess we have 3 options
a/ do nothing about it
b/ apply the patch from David Härdeman downstream and maintaining it as
a downstream patch forever
c/ try to implement keyscript support based on the PasswordAgent interface

a/ is obviously not very compelling. As for b/, we try to avoid
downstream patches as much as possible.
Regarding c/, I dunno how much effort that would be.

Bringing David into the loop here. Maybe he has some further insight on
this matter.

Tollef, what's your take on this?


cheers,
Michael
