The format for source devices is documented in crypttab(5):

  “The second field, source device, describes either the block special
   device or file that contains the encrypted data. Instead of giving
   the source device explicitly, the UUID is supported as well, using
   UUID=<luks_uuid>”

That being said, it's true that the hook file should warn the user that
something is fishy.  Patch enclosed.

Cheers,
