Following patch has been removed from util-linux in Factory:

======
Subject: [PATCH] losetup: support password hashing and specifying the key
length

* add support for password hashing (sha512, sha384, sha256, rmd160).
* add support for loop-AES style strings like "twofish256" for
  specifying the encryption algorithm and key length.

Based on the SUSE patch from Ludwig Nussel <ludwig.nussel@xxxxxxx>,
this patch adds password hashing for cryptoloop devices.  While
cryptoloop is deprecated, users may still wish to access existing
volumes.
======

This change should be mentioned in the release notes and eventually in some
README file shipped with the util-linux package.

Ludwig, could you please take care of the documentation as we agreed on IRC?
Thanks in advance.
