It is gone because I replaced in line 185 of

  /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/cryptroot

  echo "cryptsetup: WARNING: invalid line in /etc/crypttab - $opt" >&2

with

  echo "cryptsetup: WARNING: invalid line in /etc/crypttab - $opt 
(target=$target, extraopts=$extraopts, @=$@)"

as you suggested. When I revert to the old line I again get this situation:

  # update-initramfs -u
  update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64
  cryptsetup: WARNING: invalid line in /etc/crypttab -
  cryptsetup: WARNING: invalid line in /etc/crypttab -

Would be great if you could help me here.
