UUID support needs a patch in e2fsprogs which I've submitted upstream for
review some time ago. This makes bash hacks obsolete. My system is running
with UUIDs only in fstab and crypttab, there are no hardcoded device names
required anymore.
Please note that I've achieved this with the mkinitrd patch available in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=124789 , but I'll take
a look at your patch as well.
There's also a wiki page about encryption at
