Kubuntu, when asking for encrypted fs password splash screen contains no instructions

[Daniel Manrique]

Binary package hint: cryptsetup

Ubuntu release: Ubuntu Natty (development branch) - 20110302
Package version: cryptsetup 2:1.1.3-4ubuntu1

When the system boots, the splash screen displays a text field, for the encrypted fs password, without instructions or indications as to what the user should do. It's not *too* hard to guess what it wants, but some text here would avoid confusion and frustration.

Steps to reproduce:
- Install Kubuntu according to http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/AlternateEncryptedLvm

Expected result:
- The encrypted fs password screen gives instructions as to what it needs.

Actual result:
- No instructions, so the user has to guess.

I'm attaching a picture of the screen in case.

This is meant to display a text prompt here; the lack of prompt indicates a regression. Do you know if this is reproducible on an Ubuntu image? I suspect a kubuntu-specific package selection problem.

It's apparently not kubuntu-specific, I installed from ubuntu alternate and the same problem exists.

This is the image I'm using:

I reproduce the bug on ubuntu alternate and I want to know what can I do to fix it
