No it does not !

Because in the current setup rootdelay is used only AFTER the encrypted device 
has been activated : It waits from the final root device to become available, 
but it does *NOT* wait for the encryption "host device" to be available 
before trying to activate it.

Hence my patch that does exactly this in cryptroot : Use "rootdelay" and 
replicate its exact current behaviour with the "root" device, to the 
encrypted HOST of the root device, which is activated *before* rootdelay was 
used...

(Please Cc: me on replies to the list, as I'm not subscribed to it...)
