Package request: Cryptsetup-Nuke #51791

Description

when creating an encrypted LUKS container, a master key is generated at random. A passphrase is then used to encrypt the master key in turn. This process means that the passphrase is not directly coupled to the data. That is, if two sets of identical data are encrypted and the same passphrase used, the master keys remain unique to each set and cannot be swapped out. What this also means however, is that regardless of the passphrase used, if the master key is lost, recovering data is impossible. This process conveniently lends itself to being used as a nuke by deliberately wiping the keys.

  1. this is a patch on top of cryptsetup. we don't typically apply patches that change or add functionality like this
  2. the patch does not exist for anything close to cryptsetup version we have (2.7.0)
  3. that repo is archived and the last commit is 10 years old

Are there any steps that I can I take in order to perform this setup/build myself--if I feel so inclined to do so? I'd be more than happy to apply the necessary fixes and commit them if the VOID community will accept. Just need someone to point the way, pls
