Don't worry about the delay, I'm very happy to merge this now, and have
an opportunity to backport it in a point release later on. If I got the
process right, having the changes in master should trigger an update of
pot/po files by the l10n robot, and translators will be able to catch up
in a couple of hours.

Again: Many thanks!

As we discussed a couple of weeks ago, adding support for tweaking the
LUKS version was envisioned before buster; but with that documentation
now being available, and with buster being released real soon now, I'm
not convinced adding this option, even in a later point release, is
really a good use of everyone's time.
