My issue is with allowing passwords to be written "inline", as well as the fact that we intepret the file as bash rather than plaintext.
When automatically opening volumes, you are not supposed to use passphrases, but keyfiles.
If we skip those possibilities and move closer to the Debian format from which (I assume) we started, things should be simpler.
I have no idea what that format is, but there is a shitload of possibilities for crypto, and a "one line per volume" format doesn't seem to cover them all.
I also heard that Gnome should soon get support for dealing with the Debian- style crypttab format from a GUI, which we might want to take advantage of (not that I use Gnome, but it sounded neat).
I'd rather have a working format than support for a broken one in a GUI. Why would you need GUI support for crypttab anyway? I don't see the benefit.
