Here: $ aptitude why busybox i cryptsetup-initramfs Depends busybox | busybox-static $ aptitude why cryptsetup-initramfs i cryptsetup-suspend Depends cryptsetup-initramfs (>= 2:2.7.5-2) $ Cryptsetup provides an interface for configuring encryption on block devices (such as /home or swap partitions), using the Linux kernel device mapper target dm-crypt. It features integrated Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS) support. . This package provides suspend mode integration for cryptsetup. It takes care of removing LUKS master key from memory before system suspend. Cheers, David.
