Rebuilt 2.6.29 initrd in current sid and problem reappeared. However seems I found the package responsible for the problem, cryptsetup. If I install lenny cryptsetup (1.0.6-7) and rebuild he initrd things work again as expected. However, if I install previous (1.0.7-1) or current (1.0.7-2) cryptsetup problem reappears.
