[Bug 1249419] [NEW] Disk unlock prompt ignores the system keyboard layout

[Tristan Schmelcher]

Public bug reported:

I have an encrypted root filesystem on /dev/dm-1 which I unlock at boot
with my password. After changing the system's keyboard layout to Dvorak
with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration", the keyboard layout
for the disk unlock prompt is still QWERTY. There also does not seem to
be any knob in /etc/initramfs-tools to load the proper keymap at boot.
