Not really:

inspecting the initrd (installation without error) gives me:

So I have the original kernel loop modul. (how sould mkinitrd know that one 
adds the loop-aes-modul package afterwards)

So I have a different initrd. The latter one has the loop-aes loop modul.
Perhaps one should document this "feature".

Now I got a method to show the error.

- Installed latest loop-aes-source 2.2d-5

- Clean /lib/modules
thomas:/lib/modules# ls -l

The desired kernel will have version 2.6.10-knoelk.

- Installing the compiled kernel ( make-kpkg kernel_image --append-to-version 
\-knoelk modules_image --initrd ) and loop-aes-modules.
( I have these packages completly purged from the system before )

The "FATAL" error message occurs also when I first install loop-aes and then 
the kernel. Only first kernel and afterwards loop-aes doesn't show the 
problem.

Yeep after the above dpkg invocation:
