Hmm.

Yes, I agree in general. Unfortunately the situation is rather
complicated here and there isn't an easy fix.

I think that for gutsy I'm just going to have to advise you to adopt a
workaround: I suggest you reconfigure your init scripts so that the
swap setup takes place later.

I hope that in hardy we'll have a cooked answer for encrypted swap,
which will have to involve some kind of `solution' to this problem
(although we can't guarantee that it will support your particular
setup).

Thanks anyway for your bug report and sorry not to be more helpful.

Regards,
Ian.
