it's mentioned for twofish and blowfish in my manpage of losetup
(losetup/loop-aes  accepts even other key lengths. I don't know,
if this behaviour is intentend or make sense at all )

http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/ciphers.README mentions twofish160 only.
According to this document, it's necessary for compatibility with suse
8.1 encryption ( together with other unusal and insecure settings).
