Please see #482092 [1].
The answer for not implementing XTS and LRW in partman is pretty lame:
it misses the code to actually display key sizes that differ from one
algorithm to another. Not hard to do, but no one did step up to do it.
Adding the necessary modules in order to support rescueing partitions
encrypted using XTS would be pretty trivial: kernel-wedge needs one or
two lines added in one of its file. But it did not seem important to do
so before adding support code in partman first.
