Public bug reported: Binary package hint: cryptsetup
The system does not boot anymore if there's /etc/mtab~ - it seems mountall seems to hang for some time until it fails. This happens directly after the activation of the LUKS devices. rm -f /etc/mtab~* solved the problem for me. IMO, /etc/mtab~* should be deleted during init before running mountall - or it should even be deleted in mountall.
