Sounds ok?
yes, sounds like a nice feature, but i'm not sure whether implementing
more non-obvious features is good.
and adding one more option for the options field in /etc/crypttab is more
obvious than extending the usage of the keyfile field.
also, the keyfile still needs to be passed to the script, otherwise you
need an own script for every encrypted disk.
Good point. I agree...
