Added persistence-encryption parameter to the kernel boot options.
After the warnings there was no request to unlock crypt and booted with no persistence.

Hello Joe,

The usage of the kernel option 'persistence-encryption' is documented on
https://live-team.pages.debian.net/live-manual/html/live-manual/customizing-run-time-behaviours.en.html#613

It mentions that the live image needs to be built with two additional
packages 'cryptsetup' and 'cryptsetup-initramfs' for this option to work
properly. However, these packages are currently not installed per
default, so that explains why the functionality is not provided.

However, I think that it is good to re-activate this functionality, so
it is added to the backlog of features to support for forky. Depending
on the impact and/or complexity, it might be considered to be
implemented for one of the point releases of trixie, but definitely not
for the initial release of trixie.

With kind regards,
Roland Clobus
