The client part can't be shipped by cryptsetup; instead, it should have
its own ‘dropbear-initramfs-client’ package.  But IMHO this is not
really necessary: as explained in dropbear-initramfs' README.initramfs,
remote unlocking only boils down to

    ssh -F ~/.luks/ssh.conf remote.system.com

when /root/.ssh/authorized_keys contains the command="/bin/unlock"
authorized_keys(5) restriction.
