Thanks a lot for this investigation. But the cryptsetup package changed the way it handles loopback devices in the meantime. Upstream cryptsetup has loopback support integrated since version 1.2.0. Therefore, I removed all loopback-code from the Debian-specific scripts. Please give the cryptsetup packages from Debian/testing a try, and see, whether it fixes the problems for you. Unfortunately it's not possible to install them flawlessly on Debian/Squeeze. In case that you don't have the possibility to test a Debian/testing system, I can prepare cryptsetup packages for you which work on Debian/Squeeze.
