Thanks for the link and for the proposal.

We had been trying to get rid of TrueCrypt for many reasons and for
years before we actually managed to do so in Tails 1.2.1. So I'm pretty
sure that we don't want to make it easier for people to go on using it.

And, for LUKS devices, we are happy with the GUI interface offered by
GNOME Disks.

I'm not so much into Debian myself, so I'll let others answer this part.
