You could compile ecryptfs-utils on Buster manually to get the
dependencies right.

Or keep stretch in sources.list but this will not work forever, as soon
as Stretch gets archived it will break.

Other than that: Reinstalling the system with full disk encryption or
just copying the files from the ecryptfs and then removing it are the
only real other options.

But I foresee a big lashback once people not noticing this upgrade to
Buster to then just discover that their system is completely broken.

Sven.
