AFAIK, this mkswap operation is run by "/etc/init.d/cryptsetup-early"
which in turn is run by "/sbin/init". Thus, this operation is only
during a regular boot. It is not run during resume, since resume does
not actually run init scripts.

In particular, I could find no copy of the crypttab file in the
initrd.img which hands over to the unfrozen system.

Has this fix actually caused a problem with any system?

Regards,

Kapil.
