I have just installed Wily desktop with encrypted LVM and encrypted
/home and I get this error to: System asking for passphrase for
cryptswap1.

It also showed several times while installing packages in Synaptic.

Having a 20 character password for unlocking my LVM I got lazy and tried
to hit the Enter key without typing my password and the system continued
to load Ubuntu up to the login-screen.

To me it seems like a major problem that one can enter an empty password
to bypass security.

The security is not all that compromised on an LVM system but it is on a
system with encryptet /home only.
