[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#573261: cryptsetup: change of default cipher breaks systems

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.1.0~rc2-1
Severity: important

With the plain default cipher change from 1.1.0~rc2-1 to 1.1.0-1,
"starting" encrypted partitions with plain and default cipher will
fail. The package should at least give a warning when such a setup is
detected while upgrading.
Moreover, the Debian changelog just says "changed default to ...".
Naming the old default value would be extremely helpful.
