Title:
  ask-for-password does not allow to toggle num-lock state

Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  (low prio inconvenience)

  The pinentry field for my cryptsetup luks encrypted disk won't allow to toggle the num lock state during boot.
  When pressing the num-lock key on my usb keyboard, the according LED won't light up during entering my cryptsetup password.
  plymouthd seems to capture all key presses of my keyboard instead of registering for input events.

  
  the following line seems to tell plymouthd to ask for the password during boot:
  /lib/cryptsetup/scripts/decrypt_opensc:41:		--pin "$(plymouth ask-for-password --prompt "Enter pin for $CRYPTTAB_NAME: ")"

  It would be better for the pinentry to behave more like a normal
  "read" command but without compromising security.


  I am using cryptsetup 2.4.3 fwiw.
