If I'm understanding this correctly, removing the package simply
guarantees that people upgrading from jessie will have an instance

encrypted directories (which seems to be working?) and explains the
situation in the README?

Hello Mike,
of course we can remove it only from the upcoming stable release,
and removing it from testing already done it. ftpmaster also removed
it from unstable.
We asked also the removal from unstable due the gravity of the bug.
I'd like to point that the problem only affects encrypted directories
made using cryptkeeper, and that the problems it's easily discovered
first time the user tries to mount the partition.
Having said this, the issue still remains a huge, and I hope that
nobody lost any kind of data.
Cheers,
Francesco
