Yes, but the new thing is that I am now forced to unlock even the LUKS
devices that are not needed for the actual system to run in the
initramfs since my previous unlocking script stopped working with
cryptsetup 2.0.3.

I'm fine with the wishlist severity though since I migrated unlocking to
systemd units calling a one-liner shell script. Ugly, but working.

Fine with me.
