Control: retitle -1 Waits for missing devices listed in /etc/crypttab to appear, which slows down system boot

Thanks for reporting this to Debian. It seems to me that systemd is trying to do exactly what you're asking here: it is told to set up the crypt mappings you've asked, and it has no way to know how long it may take for the underlying device to appear... so it is waiting until some timeout expires. Apparently this timeout is longer than the one sysvinit was using, which is probably good in some cases, and bad in some others. So, I'm inclined to tag this bug wontfix, or to close it. I'll let the maintainers make the decision, though. (The only reason why it actually completes the boot, I guess, is because the filesystems hosted on the missing encrypted devices are not listed in fstab.)
