I found a bug in the cryptroot script run by update-initramfs. On line
523 it tests for a return value from add_device(), and prints an error
message.

if ! modules=$(add_device "$dev"); then ...

This statement will never be true, therefore the user is never notified
of the error.

I did receive a warning message, indicating that there's no valid entry
for my volume group in /etc/crypttab. However, I can't see why it's even
necessary to have anything in crypttab, because by the time the rootfs
is accessible, and thus /etc/crypttab, the crypt has already been
opened.

However, this page says that an entry is required in /etc/crypttab. Why?
