you don't have to compile it on your own. just install the package from
http://people.debian.org/~mejo/cryptsetup/

i just uploaded i386 packages as well.

yes, backups are important. but in case anything breaks, the following
should restore old system:

- boot from rescue disk, luksOpen your root device
- mount the root filesystem
- chroot into root filesystem
- install cryptsetup from debian/unstable


i recommend to store the cryptsetup package from unstable somewhere on
the root filesystem to have it available in emergency cases.

but as already mentioned, i tested the packages both in production and
test setups, thus i don't expect anything to break for you.

greetings,
 jonas
