The default key-bytes for ecryptfs-setup-private is 16 bytes. I tried to change "KEYBYTES" in ecryptfs-setup-private to "32" but failed when running the script.

How about offering options for the users to determine "encryption parameters" (like encryption algorithm, encryption key bytes, etc.) ? Or is there a workaround now ?

There's https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/1047823 - but apparently not many people requested this and nobody has implemented this yet.
