i see your point and indeed i already reverted the change to not set -e
the scripts. instead I now use a if statement for the invokation of
handle_crypttab_line_{start,stop}, do post-cryptsetup stuff (umount)
directly in the while loop, and exit with log_action_end_msg $ret at the
end of the while loop. that way the script always stops inside the while
loop, with or without error.
