"re sizes"?  That's a bit odd, don't you think?

"It will process", I guess?

Was the blanket removal of this line intentional?  (Killed one typo, it
did :-)

This part should probably not be included in the diff.

I don't see the diffs against usr/share/man/man5/crypttab.5.gz which
were also included in my original report.  Also the s/This options/This
option which I reported as a follow-up is missing.
