Sorry, I can't tell if, when you say "have never even see[n] the line
you speak of," if you mean that you still do not see it (i.e. couldn't
find it), or if you never saw it before I pointed it out.  Just in case,
it's the second paragraph of the section "What is the International
Kernel Patch".

Anyways, I suspect that the reason the web page is the way it is, is
historical; when it was created, it was the only crypto patch available
for Linux, and pretty much anyone encrypting their filesystem used it.
So it was as close to being "official" as you could get without actually
being in the kernel itself.  (Note: my knowledge of the history of such
things is unverified.  Don't quote me on this.)
