    Hi,

    [src:cryptsetup co-maintainer here, but not involved in src:systemd]

    .. _systemd-cryptsetup-support-moved-to-separate-package:

    Thanks for the suggestion! Makes sense to add this in the release notes indeed.

    The ``systemd`` package in Trixie recommends it, but on systems with
    the installation of recommended packages diabled it will not be automatically installed by the upgrade process, likely rendering the system unbootable.

    I think that statement is too strong, as the issue “only” affects systems with encrypted devices that are 1/ prerequisite for a unit file (for
    instance holding a file system to automount at boot time), and 2/ not
    unlocked at early boot stage (so not holding the root FS, /usr, or the
    resume device). So the “LVM-over-crypt” systems one gets out of d-i are unaffected.

    If you have installation of recommended packages disabled,
    and have any filesystem residing on an encrypted storage device
    listed in ``/etc/fstab`` (or being mounted by a custom ``systemd`` unit file),
    be sure to install the ``systemd-cryptsetup`` package
    before rebooting the system.

    Suggestion: “If you have an encrypted device which is not holding the
    root FS, /usr, or a resume device, then be sure to …”.

    See also the systemd NEWS entry for version 256-2.
