ok.

Indeed. Understandable.

I would really like to see this package in as well.
So, I can review this package and sponsor you once it's
in an acceptable state.

...snipp dist tag patch...

Yes, that should do it.

Some other notes/observations before a formal review:

1. Your version scheme seems a bit odd. Is there any reason why
you do major integer releases every time? Now that 9 is out
it's hard to go to a more traditional 'work toward a stable 1.0',
but it might be worth considering just minor bumps for minor
changes?

2. x86_64 now builds here. :) As does ppc32. 

3. The 2.6.19 kernel in fc6 updates has the ecryptfs module,
so there should be support for this in fc6 with the updated
kernel at least. Not sure how we are going to require that
however. Wonder if we can do a 'Requires: ecryptfs.ko'.

Look for a formal review here soon...
