Bug Description

The 'luksformat' script uses the old 'aes-cbc-essiv:sha256' cipher setting rather than the more modern 'aes-xts-plain64' option.

---------------
cryptsetup (2:1.6.1-1ubuntu5) vivid; urgency=medium

  * ./debian/scripts/luksformat: Drop luksFormat -s and --ciper options. They
    aren't necessary any more, and aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 is obsolete. This will
    now use aes-xts-plain64 by default. (LP: #1414719)
