They both are providing a completion file.

Could you tell me which one works better? I'm also CCing the cryptsetup
maintainer.
If they work more-or-less the same, I'm more inclined to keep our completion,
and reassign this bug to cryptsetup (to remove their version), or,
alternatively, give them our completion.

Our completion is "better" since it's using a newer API of bash-completion (so
it's less error-prone), while their is directly mangling bash variables.
If needed, I'm available to improve our completion, or eventually fix theirs and
remove "cryptsetup" from bash-completion upstream.

Kindly,
David
