  Description : PAM module to automatically mount encfs filesystems on login

This PAM module integrates encfs [0] and PAM, so home directories are
automatically mounted on login. EncFS provides an encrypted filesystem in
user-space, this PAM module easily allow each user to have an encrypted home,
and mount it using its login password as encfs password automatically.

This sounds very cool.  What about integrating it with cryptsetup and
debian-installer, to have an option during installation to enable
encrypted partitions and home directories?

As I understand they have no relation, cryptsetup is a tool destined to
aid the creation of dm-crypt devices. EncFS is different to dm-crypt, it
uses FUSE instead of the linux device-mapper, but maybe I'm wrong.

yes, i would like to see encfs in d-i, because it lets create different
virtual filesystem for each user under the same partition. However, it
has also some drawbacks.
