Whoa, I am using ecryptfs.

I still have ecryptfs-utils, but that is due to using Debian Unstable
aka Sid.

Not digging deeper into this at the moment, just telling: That with
sysvinit the ecryptfs directory gets unmounted *just fine* :)

So I believe Beowulf could just ship ecryptfs-utils, no matter whether
it is shipped for Debian Buster or not.

Thanks,
