Debian recently introduced the option key-slot to /etc/crypttab to
specify the LUKS key slot to be used for decrypting the device. On
systems where a keyfile is used and the key is not in the first slot,
this can speed up the boot process quite a bit, since cryptsetup does
not need to try all of the slots sequentially. (Unsuccessfully testing
a key slot typically takes up to about 1 second.)
This patch makes systemd aware of this option.
