Since systemd is our default init system, the man page for /etc/crypttab should reflect what's supported.In my view it's more nuanced than this: our default initramfs is initramfs-tools, and AFAIK the only “guided” way to get disk encryption from d-i/partman-crypto yields something involving cryptsetup-initramfs only, not systemd-cryptsetup@.service. I don't have metrics of course, but I therefore believe that crypttab(5) from src:cryptsetup is more likely to be relevant to users than the one from systemd.I notice, that the crypttab man page in src:cryptsetup is a Debian specific addition (debian/doc/crypttab.xml).We're upstream for the stuff that hook into initramfs-tools for unlocking at initramfs stage (and also the sysvinit scripts). In mid-2018 we added a section “on different crypttab formats” explaining the scope of our manual page and even included a pointer to https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/crypttab.html . If systemd were to ship its crypttab manual under a different name or location we could add the offline URL there too.
Do I take it, that you do not consider renaming the Debian specific crypttab man page an option?
