I declined the hardy/intrepid/jaunty nominations. I don't think that
there's anything to do there:

 * In these releases, cryptsetup still was broken, but vol_id preferred luks 
over other FSes, so it didn't manifest as a practical problem. 
 * Fixing cryptsetup in those releases can't be sufficient; we cannot assume 
that updating cryptsetup in stables magically fixes all the existing unclean 
superblocks out there.
 * Introducing complex migration scripts into stable releases is out of the 
question, since they have a high potential to screw everything up even further.

We need to introduce migration scripts into the release that stops
preferring luks over other FSes. As discusssed above, it's too late to
do that for karmic, so it should be done in lucid (which is also LTS,
and thus a convenient place to do that).
