Bug#1028250: debian-installer: broken cryptsetup support



Control: severity -1 important

Trying to investigate the second one, I cannot replicate my earlier
results, with either a clean unstable daily build using 6.1.0-1 or with
D-I Bookworm Alpha 1; and besides cryptsetup uploads in early December,
I must admit a quick look around didn't suggest anything obvious that
could explain what I were getting… Bad luck, maybe; lowering severity
accordingly for the time being.
