see the thing on cryptsetup discussed in part here:

http://grugq.tumblr.com/post/60464139008/alternative-truecrypt-implementations
(this is a older post from just before mid-2014 I think)

I had suggested cryptsetup actually to a few people.  I still think it
is a good thing.

Some discussion of this in May 2014 led to I think, led to some
question about what to select?

https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/replace_truecrypt/ (this is dated 21
July 2014)

Anyway this seemed nice:
https://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions


But what is in TAILS at the moment so far as the link to the LUKS and
cryptsetup stuff that's being used, it's a little hard to see through
to the links to find that exact code (where, what exactly to look for,
for the average person  / user who just wants to see it). It's
probably something obvious I missed becasuse I'm tired.
If you know exactly what to link to please drop it here.
