Understood. > I'm inclined to simply document that the LVM symlinks are not supported > as device nodes. An easy solutions might be to follow symlinks when generating the initramfs. I just noticed that /dev/VG/LV is a symlink to /dev/mapper/VG-LV. Alternatively, one could let cryptdisks warn that symlinks are used, so that cryptdisks and the initramfs scripts will behave more similarly and not surprise the user.
