[Bug 496765] [NEW] plymouth ask-for-password doesn't display --prompt argument

[Steve Langasek]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: plymouth

Updating cryptsetup to integrate with plymouth, I find that I'm
presented at boot with a padlock and an entry field, but no text
explaining what I'm unlocking.  This information has been passed as
'plymouth ask-for-password --prompt="my prompt string"', but plymouth
doesn't appear to be using it.

Since a system may have multiple encrypted disks, each requiring a
distinct passphrase for decryption, it is vital that the prompt be
presented to the user.
