We've always built ecryptfs as a module, and I don't see why we should
change that.

I was enlightened by
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=590081
Now that I understand that this is expected behavior on Debian, is there
a place that I could help document this? This will likely come up again
as no ecryptfs instructions that I find include this information.

Perhaps ecryptfs-utils should install an init script that loads the
module. In any case, it should be auto-loaded for people that want to
use it, and not for those that don't!
