Bug Description
Binary package hint: cryptsetup
luksformat doesn't set --key-size and thus uses what seems to be the default in 'luksFormat': 128 Bit.
It should use the strongest cipher (256 Bit) by default IMO or at least tell the user that there's a way to use a stronger cipher.
Currently, the user doesn't get informed about which keysize gets used.

I've also noticed the 128-bit default in cryptsetup 1.0.5 on Ubuntu Gutsy.
