Due to #765854 ecryptfs-utils has been removed from Buster.                     
The kernel module (ecryptfs.ko) is still built but depending on the upgrade     
path users will be unable to mount their encrypted home directories (pam        
module, ecryptfs-mount-private missing).                                        
So they should probably be strongly advised to not upgrade.
