VeraCrypt for Debian
--------------------

This file is part of an unofficial Debian packaging for VeraCrypt. It is
unrelated to either Debian or VeraCrypt.

This packaging differs from the VeraCrypt Ubuntu/Debian packaging in at least
these ways:

- This package provides an init script that calls 'veracrypt -d' on shutdown. At
  the point it is called, all filesystems (except root) should already have been
  unmounted, but the VeraCrypt service processes and device mappings may still
  be active. Calling 'veracrypt -d' is probably better than the system sending
  the VeraCrypt service kill signals. It can be disabled by editing
  /etc/default/veracrypt.

- A Perl script transforms the output of 'veracrypt --help' to produce a 
  troff man page. The upstream sources don't contain a man page.

- This package adds itself to both the Debian menu system and the Gnome menu
  system. The VeraCrypt package only adds itself to the latter.

- The user manual is installed in /usr/share/doc/veracrypt as opposed to
  /usr/share/veracrypt/doc.
