Cryptsetup - plans for repository update from (buggy) 1.6.6 to 1.7.0?

I’ am hit by a problem with cryptsetup where i can’t mount encrypted volumes on my Raspberrypi 3 with UbuntuMATE.
It seems to be related to Bugzilla 112631. Are there any plans of upgrading cryptsetup to 1.7.0 or newer in the repository to remove the problem?
