Using cryptsetup to securely wipe a device before enabling encryption, e.g.:

    cryptsetup --key-file /dev/random open --type plain /path/to/device container

fails on my system during install, using the latest weekly snapshot of Debian testing.
Some messages are logged to the terminal and some are logged by the kernel:

    device-mapper: reload ioctl on container (253:0) failed: No such file or directory

    kernel: device-mapper: table: 253:0: crypt: Error allocating crypto tfm
    kernel: device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table.

I am executing these commands at the partitioning step, after running these commands:

    anna-install cdebconf-newt-entropy partman-crypto-dm cryptsetup-udeb crypto-dm-modules crypto-modules
    insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/md/dm-crypt.ko || insmod dm_crypt dm-crypt || modprobe dm_crypt dm-crypt
    mkdir -p /run/cryptsetup

Using cryptsetup otherwise works fine, e.g. to format, open and close LUKS2 devices.

Is there another package I should install or module I should load?  I tried inserting any crypto related module I could
find without success: cbc.ko, arch/*aes*.ko, aes_generic.ko, ...
