FWIW the cryptsetup-initramfs stuff has gotten easier between the
Stretch and Buster releases.  No need to set CRYPTSETUP=Y in particular,
installing cryptsetup-initramfs will do.  See the NEWS notes, and also
/usr/share/doc/cryptsetup-initramfs/README.initramfs.gz as well as
/usr/share/doc/cryptsetup/README.Debian.gz § 8.

That said, please use the Debian BTS to report bugs: https://bugs.debian.org .

cheers,
