We discussed that in #ubuntu-release. Given how close karmic's release
is, we think this is a viable strategy:
(1) For karmic, patch blkid to prefer luks over ext*
Rationale: This has been the behaviour for years, and worked well.
We also know that creating a luks volume did not properly clean up
traces from a previous ext file system, while we know that creating an
ext file system over a luks file system worked properly. (I'll verify
that again, though)
Reopening an util-linux task for that.
(2) For Lucid, discuss a proper migration strategy to clean up
superblocks on upgrades. This isn't release critical for Karmic any more
then.
Keeping non-karmic cryptsetup task for that.
