what do you mean with "the default". it highly depends on the method
that was used to encrpyt the device. was it done during installation
process (debian-installer), with the shipped luksformat script, with
some graphical frontend (gnome-device-manager, gnome-disk-utility, ...)
or by invoking cryptsetup directly (with which commandline arguments?).

the default cipher depends on the cryptsetup package version used when
the decive was encrypted.
