Right :) I didn't want my LUKS key to be in clear-text, even if it's in a
binary file on some server which probably no one will ever see and identify
as a boot partition. I have my GPG secret key in different locations, not
only on the encrypted PC we are talking about.
I only did backup the boot partition because I use the XTS cipher and did
not have a live cd which knew about it. But now the new GRML 2009.05
supports it.
