Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cryptsetup

During and since upgrade from hardy to intrepid cryptsetup's postinstall
runs into an infinite loop within the update.initramfs.

(sudo sh -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/cryptsetup.postinst configure >
cryptsetup-loop 2>&1 attached)

The reason lies with an extra space in the /etc/crypttab-options that causes 
the loop (see the second comma):
not working:  home /dev/sda6 none luks,retry=2, cipher=aes-lrw-benbi
working: home /dev/sda6 none luks,retry=2,cipher=aes-lrw-benbi
