I want to use the "udev" package on the Knoppix3.8 hdd install. However, udev depends on initscripts which depends on the "mount" package. But, when I try to install "mount", I get this scary interaction:

# apt-get install mount
...
The following packages will be REMOVED:
mount-aes
...
You are about to do something potentially harmful
To continue type in the phrase 'Yes, do as I say!'
?]

Is this operation safe?

Why does the hdd install use this "mount-aes" package rather than just "mount" package?
