I'm not really familiar with partman-crypto so please take that with a
grain of salt, but at first glance the key size is passed explicitly
/sbin/cryptsetup -c $cipher-$iv -h $hash -s $size luksFormat $device $pass
hence isn't affected by the new *default*. AFAIK the keysize is still
256 in non XTS-modes, and the double in XTS mode (so AES256 is used).

Agreed, that wasn't a deliberate omission of course. It simply didn't
cross my mind until I read the message from Jonathan :-( (Ironically I
have some devices with LUKS unlocking from GRUB, but haven't deployed
new ones this year…)

Thanks, Cyril! And sorry for the extra work… I might be able to give a
hand, too.
