Bug Description
An external harddisk with one partition that is encrypted with luks is connected via usb. In jaunty the partition is reported in /dev/disk/by-uuid/ and therefore addressable by cryptsetup.
With karmic such a link isn't created, and the partition has to be addressed by /dev/sdX1 which is no good for scripts in times where usbdrives are numerous and often (un)pluged in arbitrary combinations.

I marked this as duplicate of bug #428435. You can verify this by running
$ sudo blkid -p /dev/sdX1
If blkid reports
"ambivalent result (probably more filesystems on the device)"
this is correct duplicate.
