I have tested the package (I believe, I have version
2:1.0.6+20090405.svn49-1ubuntu7.1). My configuration is

/etc/crypttab:
home /dev/sda6 none luks,tries=5

>From /etc/fstab:
/dev/mapper/home        /home   ext4    defaults,nofail,relatime        0 2

With previous cryptsetup I got prompted for password, but it seemed that
more than one process where reading my keystrokes, so I had to try
several times before it worked.

Now I don't even get prompted for password. I get the prompt where I can
press ESC and get a maintenance shell (without a password prompt, but
thats another story). In that shell I can do a "cryptsetup luksOpen" and
finally mount /home. After exiting the shell the boot continues.

While the boot requires more steps now, it is much more dependable and I
don't have to reboot get my /home mounted.

cryptsetup init scripts are redundant and can break the boot
