After some research I found file /etc/crypttab which contains a list

Did you rebuild the initramfs at this stage? If not, you'll need to do
that first.
Yes, that needed to be done; and I did so. Putting the relevant UUIDs
in file /etc/crypttab, which I also did, however is not enough to have
the boot process ask for the passkey for encrypted partitions and so to
allow mounting of them, in my case /home and /tmp. Systemd requires
some other rebuilding to allow it to use the information in file
/etc/crypttab.
So, unless someone on the list knows enough about systemd to tell me
what to that process is and how to do it, I am reduced to two choices:
either take the time (how long?) to learn about systemd, or to reinstall
Jessie in the box. If the latter, which probably will be quicker, it
will be the third time I had to do so since mid-April when I first
installed Jessie in this box.
