That .service file does not come from the cryptsetup source package.

No, we ship cryptsetup(8) in /usr/sbin (or /sbin before merged-/usr) not
/usr/bin.  You need to your custom .service file to point to the right
location.  Consistency is only important within the source package,
there is no guarantee that external wrappers and and unit files will
work outside of the box.
