If you use rootdelay, the bootskripts will wait every time, even if all is complete or they will stop waiting, even, if on slow systems it isn't.
Without another solution (this for example copied from mountroot, which had the same problem which was solved without additional work for the users like to setup a rootdelay) everybody who wants to run cryptroot from usb (there might be more people in the future, since you can setup that automaticly with the debian installer since debian etch, the devices became cheaper and maybe more people will understand, that its important to encrypt data, especially on mobile devices which get lost very easy) would have to search this problems, edit bootparameters (too complicated for some users) and change them to run a mobile device on slower systems. But some weeks ago other people requested the same thing in the package cryptsetup. I realised too late, that the file cryptroot in initrd is part of cryptsetup and not a standard script of debians initramdisk and had not found the other open report. Sorry for the report in this metapackage! For people getting to this report/thread because of using a searchengine: This issue is open on the wishlist of cryptsetup at #488271 and is discussed there. I'll post a quick and dirty workarround there. Maybe it will help someone else, until one of the discussed solutions will be implemented in the cryptsetup-package or/and in initrd.
