[Bug 1223622] Re: add support for crypttab mounting of luks devices with detached headers

[Attila Lendvai]

FTR, i've looked around in debian jessie, and to my cursory examination
it looks like the relevant packages are prepared to have an encrypted
root with a detached header, but i didn't actually test it.

Bug description:
  A detached luks header for a luks device is a new feature in

  system.
