Bug Description
Binary package hint: cryptsetup
After installing cryptsetup and configuring /etc/crypttab, encrypted partitions can be automatically mounted at boot. This works, but on vt8 the password is shown in plain text. I can reproduce this on two machines.

On the vt8 image you see the password that has been entered into the ubuntu splash screen.
