Okey, I've gone trough my local repo and committed fixes for the 
following bugs:

#370180: Make options field mandatory in crypttab
#376941: initramfs-tools: crypttab not handled correctly
#380048: cryptsetup: Missing reference README.initramfs
#379737: cryptsetup: cannot handle UTF-8 in passphrase
#370302: a better recommendation for cryptdisks.functions
#375913: cryptsetup: add a keyscript option to crypttab

Comments on some unfixed bugs:

#374942: Improve cryptsetup and initramfs documentation

Will do for a later release, there are still too many changes ahead which 
will just outdate the documentation 

#382280: does not configure encrypted swap during initramfs, thus
         prevents resume

Having looked into this. I think we should wait until cmount is properly
integrated at which point this will be simple as the entire crypttab will
be copied to the initramfs image and the initramfs script can be simplified           
to "cmount $ROOT; cmount $SWAP".

I now need to do some testing to try to make sure that I didn't break 
stuff (which is not completely unlikely considering the amount of stuff  
that I committed). Other testers are very welcome of course :)

Once we have some confidence in this, I think it's time for a new 
release.
