I decided to trust in your language skills, and applied all changes ;-)

Only one question is left: Sometimes you converted one space into two
spaces. Was is done by mistake, or did you intend it? For example:

By the way, much of the debian specific cryptsetup documentation is written
by me. If you've some spare time, I would really appreciate proofreading of
the docs. Feel free to redesign complete paragraphs, if necessary. I guess
that I often explain things in a more complicated way than necessary.
