Debian Bug report logs - #765854
ecryptfs-utils: Private directory not automatically unmounted anymore on logout

It seems there's poor interaction between ecryptfs-utils and user logout.
Specifically, that the encrypted volume remains mounted.
There's a long discussion how to tweak it and systemd to make it work,
and it looks like they eventually just gave up.

Maybe someone else can understand th problem in more detail than I can.

The remocal is mentioned in section 5.1.9. Noteworthy obsolete packages,
