Bug Description
After updating from 15.10 to 16.04, the passphrase prompt to decrypt my LVM disk is not presented when the boot splash screen is enabled. The bluish background is drawn and then the boot hangs indefinitely, waiting for the passphrase to be typed with no on-screen indication of such. Typing the passphrase and pressing enter continues to boot normally. Booting with 'nosplash' on the command line shows a text-mode passphrase prompt that works normally.

Your crypttab contains: ddc3-4839- b492-5ede0ec8ae cc none luks,discard
sda3_crypt UUID=ad243744-
Your fstab does not list sda3_crypt, but it does list your root and home partitions as being on /dev/mapper/ lubuntu- vg.
Is lubuntu-vg a crypted VG? I.e., is your root partition encrypted - such as you would get if using the Ubuntu installer's "encrypt whole disk" option?
This is relevant for understanding where the bug lies, since different code paths are used to prompt for passphrases in the initramfs (root partition) vs. after boot (other partitions).
This bug is not reproducible for me here on Ubuntu 16.04.
