I've spent the last four days trying to figure out why my previously
working (in feisty) cryptdisks were silently failing to mount during
gutsy's boot,  but would happily mount manually if I invoked the scripts
after login.

This is a critical bug because:
1.  anyone who *properly* uses Ubuntu's *standard* encryption init.d scripts to 
mount an encrypted /tmp will leave their Ubuntu system unbootable - this is the 
case even though the user did everything right.  Any bug that leaves a system 
unbootable must be rated critical.
2.  encrypted swap fails to mount, *and fails silently* so there are people out 
there with laptops relying on Ubuntu's encryption infrastructure who are going 
to be a bit upset;
3.  cryptdisks is normal init.d infrastructure - people who use it are not 
doing something weird.
4.  linking against a mount point that doesn't necessarily exist at the Sxx 
time cryptdisks is executed is plain silly.
