could you try to regenerate the initramfs after downgrading to 2:1.1.0-2.1, and test whether that works as well? that way you verify that the bug is in cryptsetup package itself, and was not introduced by some other package upgrade. you should backup the working initramfs first (copy it to /boot/initramfs.works), then downgrade the cryptsetup package to 2:1.1.0-2.1 (you can get it from snapshot.debian.org). greetings, jonas
