When GPT swap partitions are located on NVMe or MMC drives, ecryptfs-setup-swap fails to mark these swap partitions as "no-auto".
As a consequence, when using encrypted home directory with an NVMe or MMC drive, users are erroneously prompted to enter a pass-phrase to unlock their swap partition at boot.
I have a patch that I'll propose for merging shortly.

Aside:
Although not necessarily related, there's another issue System76 encountered when investigating this for a customer using encrypted home directory with an NVMe drive and the proprietary NVDIA driver.
After doing a fresh install of 16.04.1 (choosing "Encrypt my home directory") and then installing the proprietary NVDIA driver with:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-361
We were twice prompted to enter a pass-phrase to unlock the encrypted swap partition. This seemed to happen when installing dkms modules. We know this doesn't happen when the swap partition is correctly marked as "no-auto", but it's still very curious behavior.
