Bug Description
"plymouth ask-for-password" is unable to read keyboard input when the console is the Xen PV console device (hvc0).
Since the "cryptroot" script that the "cryptsetup" package installs on initramfs's uses "plymouth ask-for-password" instead of /lib/cryptsetup
As a very hacky workaround, modifying /usr/share/
Specifying /lib/cryptsetup
Some relevant system information:
Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) on an amd64 Xen domU
The system was debootstrap'd under Finnix on a VM supplied by Linode.com.
