I guess this would be an improvement, yes. It would still be more
obvious if you had "enter passphrase" in there somewhere. But maybe this
is only my opinion :-)

OK understood. But should the encryption support (LUKS and ecryptfs)
then not be removed completely or only be a hidden option?

Title:
  LUKS Unlock prompt should be reworded

Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  == Comment: #0 - Michael Roesch <ROESCH3 at de.ibm.com> - 2016-02-16 04:08:05 ==
  When using LUKS-encrypted partitions, it should be more obvious that the system wants you to enter a password to unlock the respective partition. The current message is misleading. 

  Current message:

  Begin: Running /scripts/init-premount ... done.   
  Begin: Mounting root file system ... Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ...   
  Please unlock disk dasda2_crypt

  I suggest the following change:

  Please enter passphrase to unlock disk dasda2_crypt
