If we really want to support all these local-top scripts we should come up to provide the corresponding configuration for these scripts. > loop-aes-utils: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/loopaes live-boot supports cryptoloop in the backend though the functionality is not really exported. > open-iscsi: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/iscsi Afaik live-boot already has support for iscsi > Not that I'm suggesting we immediately deal with any of these.

I really don't think it is wortwhile to be able to use findiso for example on a crypted disk/nbd. If you need this kind of think just use network boot. Local setups with raid and lvm on the other hand are quite common nowadays so i think it should support at least these mdadm and lvm.
