The UUID reported by "blkid" and "lsblk -f" is _exactly_ the luksUUID. The UUID reported by "dmsetup info" is the luksUUID prefixed by "CRYPT-LUKS1-" and suffixed by "-{mapper_name}". If you leave the UUID the same, the output from "blkid" and "lsblk -f" will be confusing.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that could be a problem for some scripts, couldn't it?

Of course that all depends on the script.  System scripts typically use UUIDs to identify devices to be opened/mounted, and you've already given up that possibility by detaching the header from the device.
