[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#671056: "cryptsetup: WARNING: failed to detect canonical device of /dev/sda2" on kernel installation

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.4.1-3
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

each time I install a new kernel version, I get the following message from
cryptsetup

cryptsetup: WARNING: failed to detect canonical device of /dev/sda2

/dev/sda2 is the swap partition, as you can see in the fstab below.
/dev/sda5 is an encrypted partition opened as /dev/mapper/home and mounted to
/home, which is all working great.
The message seems fairly minor (hence the priority), but since I did nothing
out of ordinary during the setup, I wonder if something in there is not
behaving as it should. A quick google search resulted in no explanation of what
is actually going on.

Kind regards,
Ralf Jung
