No. Filed #7648 so that I don't forget doing this. Thanks :)

Fair enough. But then, I think we should ship cryptsetup 1.6 and
document how to use it to unlock TrueCrypt volumes, as soon as we
modify the wrapper, though, so that we don't discover in 2015 that the
proposed solution doesn't work for some users.

I'd rather do it faster, since we've been announcing it for a year,
but I can live with your proposed timing too.
