Not directly. They interact because the distribution designers have configured them to interact, I understand. Not because of upstream. Or because dracut finds out, somehow, that crypttab must be included. I don't know exactly how dracut works, I have to make educated guesses.

crypttab (typo)

It does not.
I know it doesn't :-) If you want the reference to be there, writeup a bugzilla asking for a comment to be added on the file ;-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.1 (Legolas))
