Sorry, but I think we have a misunderstanding here.
We should aim for a solution which enables both ways. With the introduction of plymouth also a bug was introduced, because the old behavior was canceled without notice. The solution with the keyscript is not feasible, as far as I understand, because this would disable plymouth completely, which is not the goal.

From my point of view this could be easily fixed if someone who knows the startup procedure very well could just post the necessary steps to disable plymouth just for this "one" startup when remote unlocking is desired. My problem is I do not know the side effects if I just do a:
$killall plymouthd
$killall plymouth
$/bin/sh /path/to/cryptroot
...

Perhaps there is a way to stop plymouth without the killall, but I simply do not know the cleanest ways.
I think this bug can be fixed without a single line of code, just with a better documentation. I would write one, but I do not know the consequences...
