FWIW, I personally like Debian's conservativeness; my experience is
that it usually leads to less breakage. (It's _really_ nice to be able
to run `apt-get dist-upgrade` and generally trust that the system will
come up just fine on the next reboot.)

Obviously, there's nothing stopping whoever is installing the system
from dropping to a shell and setting up a container themselves, _even
if_ the installer _only_ does one version of on-disk format for LUKS.
So even if the installer _only_ does LUKS1, and the tools are built
with LUKS1 as default, it's not like that will _prevent_ people from
using the LUKS2 format if they really want to.
