Are there any workarounds for this for already installed Ubuntu
installs?
I have a laptop user that is having 3+ minute shutdowns for this LUKS
timeout issue.

Title:
timeout on restart or shutdown with LUKS root
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Using the server install ISO, it's possible to specify root on LUKS
and variations thereof - for instance, root on LUKS on MD-RAID, root
on LVM on LUKS on MD-RAID, and so forth. The installer does the right
thing and initramfs-tools does everything necessary to support booting
this sort of thing.
However, systemd gives a 90-second timeout on restart or shutdown,
presumably because it cannot dispose of the things beneath root.
It's wholly unclear to me where the 90-second timeout is specified,
should I wish to shorten it to reboot without the futile delay, but
more to the point, there seems to be infrastructure for handling this
kind of situation that doesn't exist in Ubuntu at present.
I was pointed at this:
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/InitrdInterface/
However, Ubuntu seems not to have anything in its initramfs-tools to
facilitate "shutdown-initrd" functionality.
I haven't tested this, but I suspect this problem will exist for folks
running root on MD-RAID without the LUKS as well. Either way, a
relatively common vanilla install will force 90-second timeouts on
users, which is unfortunate.
