document need for cryptsetup-bin

Looks like cryptsetup-bin has been added as a new dependency (presumably to support encrypted containers). This will need to be documented in the 3.4 version of the docs.

Please use cryptsetup, (instead of cryptsetup-bin).

cryptsetup-bin looks to be a dependency for cryptsetup, and they both need to be installed to function properly.

I noticed this as well, should this message be altered for the configure then?

 checking: cryptsetup... no
unable to find the cryptsetup program, is the package cryptsetup-bin installed?

@WestleyK - I'm not sure this is the case. cryptsetup on debian based distros includes recommends on initramfs related packages that we don't need. The cryptsetup-bin command line package should be sufficient, and avoid bringing in some things that are only needed for LUKS encryption on the host.

Can you elaborate on what error you see (if any) with cryptsetup-bin and without cryptsetup?

Closing this. I'm pretty confident cryptsetup-bin is sufficient here. Please reopen with detail if issues found anywhere.
