I'm a server admin, I manage a mail server and DNS server. The server is encrypted for valid reasons. I need to have remote boot via SSH. This bug needs to be made a higher priority! I have daily local access to the sever, but what happens when I'm on vacation and I need to reboot the encrypted server. Right now I have to trust a third party to boot the server and of course they have to know the password, but what happens when their out of town and I'm out of town, hmmm?
The workarounds in the comments are not the proper Ubuntu/Debian way and risk breaking with every update that comes down the line. I simply don't have the time to test every update to make sure the scripts posted in the comments don't break.
Would giving money to the Ubuntu programmers solve this or does Ubuntu not have a $$$ bounty program. I couldn't afford much, maybe $50.
