Michael Petullo posted to the hal-list? That does not really fit into the Debian and Ubuntu architecture since our hal does not run as root, and hal is meant to stay policy free. OTOH we already have pmount which does the root part, so it is straightforward to put the cryptsetup integration into pmount. In addition, luks-setup does not yet exist in hal 0.5.1. But all the other components are fine, so at most Debian/Ubuntu only needs a small g-v-m patch to call pmount instead of luks-setup. Have a nice day!
