Thanks, I've applied the blkid LUKS patch to the e2fsprogs SCM (modulo
a minor whitespace breakage which I fixed up).

BTW, there appears to be a problem here in udev regarding LUKS
identification:

Thanks for applying the small patch !

FYI:
I've opened a bugzilla about your udev concerns to get some comments from our
and the upstream maintainer at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=245717

Kay Sievers from the udev team responded:

So, no help from this side....
