This argument is somewhat circular, in that the machine from which
I'm typing this message has /usr as part of the / filesystem, all of
which is LUKS encrypted, and the generic Debian initrd is handling
it just fine. Some built-in logic to look for a keyfile on
removeable media when decrypting / would be a nice addition, but at
least there are scripts available which make this fairly easy to
enable manually.
