That's understandable. But don't say you haven't been warned the time when authenticated encryption is stable with cryptsetup but using it with debian is still prone to errors like this one. ;-)

(btw: my secondary intend was to offer some workaround for anyone experimenting with this experimental stuff; okay... seems quite irrational to do so with the stable branch, but... damn, I'm running out of arguments...)
