Re: [Tails-dev] An update to zuluCrypt status in debian

Hi,
I think it might not be needed only because Truecrypt isn’t being developed. However, Veracrypt support may be nice. I also personally think it would be nice to have a Luks Nuke feature like the one in Kali. Hopefully that gets ported to Debian Jesse.
