Kees Cook : The recent updates in jaunty cryptsetup package did change
oen thing in usplash behavior :

It now show stars as you type in usplash prompt, as it already does when
usplash asks for the passphrase from initramfs (LVM encrypted install).
However, the security bug is still not fixed when for usplash prompt
when started from init.d, it only works securely when it starts from
initramfs.
