The header and keyfile are necessary only for opening the device, not for closing, so it is not necessary to deactivate the generated cryptsetup unit when the header or keyfile backing store are removed. This is especially useful in the case of softreboot, when the new mount root is setup under /run/nextroot/ but we don't want to close the cryptsetup devices for encrypted /var/ or so, and we simply mount it directly on /run/nextroot/var/ before the soft-reboot.
