harmless.  i've been seeing it for years.  if it bothers you, blacklist
the module in mikinitcpio.conf and rebuild.

[kludge at an ~]$ locate cryptsetup | grep bin
/sbin/cryptsetup.static
/usr/sbin/cryptsetup
[kludge at an ~]$ ls -al /usr/sbin/cryptsetup
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 20404 Jan 24 07:53 /usr/sbin/cryptsetup
[kludge at an ~]$ ls -al /sbin/cryptsetup.static
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1131736 Jan 24 07:53 /sbin/cryptsetup.static

crypsetup.static is, well, static and links to no libraries.  bigger,
but stands alone, in case /lib gets fubar'd.

better?
