Package: encfs
Version: 1.7.4-2.4+b2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Even when --ondemand is passed on the command line, encfs still tries to mount
the file system immediately, asking for a passphrase and exposing the
encrypted files.

It would be greate to have support for --delaymount in the Debian encfs.
This forces encfs to not mount the filesystem, and ask for a passphrase,
until first accessed, which is generally the desired behavior by people
using --ondemand.

The issue was reported upstream and a patch provided almost 2 years ago:
  https://code.google.com/p/encfs/issues/detail?id=122


You can find the patch here:
  
https://code.google.com/p/encfs/issues/attachmentText?id=122&aid=1220008000&name=delaymount.diff

By googling around, seems like many distros are including this patch
in their version of encfs already, it would be great to do the
same in Debian.
