The main goal of libpwquality feature in cryptsetup was that
you have one common place to set up system-wide policy for passwords.
(All system tools handling passwords must link to it.)
That's how is done in Fedora (where libpwquality originated).
See man pwquality.conf

Otherwise I do not think every program should implement own
pw quality checks. (And even here, it is only cryptsetup binary
doing this, not libcryptsetup itself -> check is on higher level.)
