About the prompt for loop-AES volumes: There is an init script
that is supposed to losetup and fsck loop devices during the boot.
It shows a prompt like :
Setting up $loop ($mnt)
Passphrase:
It could be that at the time you tested it, loop-aes-utils
2.12r-11 had not yet migrated to testing, which would explain why
a prompt without the mountpoint was shown. The above prompt is
what should happen with the new version.

I hope this is addressed with the migration of loop-aes-utils
2.12r-11 to testing and that we can drop mention of this problem.
I'll verify with a test install.
Thanks everyone for your work on this!
