Dear Maintainer,

When installing debian using the default iso i wanted to setup an encrypted 
swap.
I selected the option aes and the random key option and a key size of 256. I 
know that doing so for my root partition worked fine, it used luks and used a 
doubled key(in my case i selected 256 and it doubled it to 512)
But when i check in /etc/crypttab i see that even though i also used 256 for 
the swap partition, it didn't double it and it still says 256.
I guess it's not that much of a problem if you use 256, but if you use 128 it 
may be a securty problem perhaps
I expected the final /etc/crypttab to contain a doubled key size, but it didn't
