Hi,
I am looking at a corporate deployment scenario here, where the laptop
is encrypted by anaconda during the kickstart process.
However users can forget their passwords and we dont want to re-install
their laptops if they do.

Can we add a key to the already encrypted luks partition, so that when
the user forgets the passphrase, we can make use of the private key + IT
passphrase and unlock the partitions?

It would be just great if this is possible,
