Indeed. Thanks for this suggestion! :-)

This not only makes it clearer when looking at fstab, /proc/mounts
etc but also solves one usability problem we currently have: That
it's difficult to know which is which if passphrases for multiple
"crypto[0-9]" devices are prompted for during boot. 
I've just committed this change to SVN.
