- If the supplied password worked, remove the prompt from usplash again,
so that the user has some visual feedback that everything is alright.
(LP: #151305)
- Do not show the UUID device node of the outer physical device. It is
scary ("/dev/disk/by-uuid/1234yadayada") and displaying it does not
improve security at all: If attackers can tamper with your initramfs,
they can also change the prompt, and if the UUID of the physical device
changes, then booting will not even get that far. Now it is a much more
friendly "Enter passphrase for sda5_crypt:" which is still technical,
but it's necessary to point out which device will be unlocked in case
there are several.
