If this bug ships as 'stable' there will be people quite justifiably screaming about it, and I believe it would make Debian look bad. It is a nasty bug, happens at boot time, can render a system temporarily (or maybe completely, depending on number of cryptsetup volumes) unusable. If I were a sysadmin and it appeared on my server after an upgrade or fresh installation of jessie, I would go right back to the prior release or to another distro.

Hi Niels,

I'll try that solution.  Is it too late in the process to add a dependency on plymouth?

Thanks much,
