Uff... bummer. I use both in some special cases.


Uhm, can I somehow verify this in advance (ideally by actually
testing)?

I'm using Debian's cryptsetup packages, which (AFAICS) use OpenSSL as
backend, which (AFAICS) supports neither serpent, nor twofish.

Are there any alternatives to keep those running?


Cheers,
