Bug Description

Since updating to oneiric, plymouth displays the boot cryptsetup passphrases in the clear!
It's asterisks on the first device, which alone is a problem, see bug 778659.
Filing this new bug, since passphrases in the clear are another can of worms.

Way to take this seriously. (Yes Ubuntu, I am pissed.)
