Err... the mandatory answer is "yes" but making this firsthands looks
an useful interface characteristic, also to possibly give a warning
about theoretical LUKS header persistence as Maxim pointed

OTOH this is the neverending issue about how much who write software
need and want to protect the user form himself .....
