Unfortunately this has the problem, that the keyscript always invokes
passdev (except you do ugly tests or so ;) )... but perhaps it's not
required when setting up devices (e.g. non-root-filesystems).

Wouldn't it make sense that cryptsetups scripts _always_ run passdev
automatically,... checking whether the file is available, and if not,
mounting the source?
One could even be backwards compatible by making
[source-device:]key-file optional
