Ok.  That's basically unsupported (and unsupportable), then.  mountall
receives notifications directly from udev when devices become available,
but if you ask it to look for a UUID, that UUID becomes available on the
system before the device is "ready".  The cryptsetup code creates the
device first under a temporary name explicitly, so that it can access
the device and run post-setup checks prior to exposing the device to the
rest of the system.  So the rest of the system *must* not reference the
device by UUID, but by symbolic name instead.

** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

** Changed in: cryptsetup (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix
