The long, anonymous elaborate does not address the actual issue. And,
it's clear that - should the anonymous poster be correct - keyscript
is only supported for the root file system, not for any other fsses
that might get mounted later.

I would expect at least a try to keep something supported that has
been supported in Debian für years. This is a serious regression that
makes systems unbootable and up to now the only fix seems to be to
reduce security by resorting to keys typed in at boot time.
