I have tried systemd but as it does not support the Debian extensions to cryptsetup (namely the crypttab keyscript parameter) it is not a valuable alternative for me - sysvinit and upstart btw do support them, I did not yet get the chance to try openrc (and yes this is a Debian specific feature nontheless present since long time so I argue that people are using it and will also continue to do so). I guess this means that either the Debian systemd maintainer may need to handle this in some way (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=618862) or the Debian users will have to decide how to deal with this matter.
