+Subject: [PATCH] gpt-auto-generator: do not fail on missing libcryptsetup when
+ verity is not used
+
+add_veritysetup() is called unconditionally  from add_root_mount() and
+add_usr_mount() whenever in_initrd() is true, to generate units that
+only activate if verity devices appear. However, when compiled without
+libcryptsetup, this function returned a hard error, causing the entire
+generator to fail even when no verity protection is in use.
+
+Change the #else fallback to log a debug message and return 0, matching
+the pattern already used by add_root_cryptsetup().
