Description Patrick Lauer gentoo-dev

* The LUKS support has changed from versions prior to 3.4.4.  Now,
 * you use crypt_root=/dev/blah instead of real_root=luks:/dev/blah.
 * Local use flag 'crypt' has been renamed to 'cryptsetup' (bug #414523).
 * Please set flag 'cryptsetup' for this very package if you would like
 * to have genkernel create an initramfs with LUKS support.
 * Sorry for the inconvenience.

[ebuild   R    ] sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.49.2  USE="crypt -cryptsetup (-ibm) (-selinux)" 0 kB

So what's the point of crypt useflag now? Why are there two, and only one enabled by default? 

This is very confusing ...
