[Pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#397633: Please use unique error messages (failed to determine cipher modules to load)

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.4-4
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/cryptroot

        Hi,

 I currently get the error "cryptsetup: failed to determine cipher
 modules to load for /dev/mapper/bee--sata-root", but when looking at
 /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/cryptroot, this error message is used
 twice (with a slight variation):
260: echo "$0: failed to determine cipher modules to load for $node" >&2
300: echo "cryptsetup: failed to determine cipher modules to load for $dev" >&2

 Please change one of these two messages; the first one appears below a
 "Load the config opts and modules for each device" block, so perhaps
 you might want to change the message to reflect this step, or to
 reflect that it is a consequence of an "add_device" call.

 Another option is to use $LINENO in all messages, this might not be
 POSIX.

   Thanks,

PS: yes, there's a small difference in the messages due to the use of $0
which is probably "cryptroot" in most cases, but you'll agree that this
is not practical for human to distinguish.
