Hello Jonas & Kjetil,

(context: I'm reading through release-notes bug reports).

I'm not sure I understand what you are expecting as a result by cloning/reassigning this to the release notes -

Let me try to understand the problem:

* if there's an encrypted partition, then systemd, who aparently would be
  responsible to do so will not prompt for the password, if plymouth is
  not installed.

Is my understanding of the problem correct?

So I think the right thing to do would be, that during the upgrade the systemd postinstallation should check whether there are some mounted partitions that are crypted and then recommend to install plymouth. Do you concur?

Otherwise, should the release-notes recommend to install plymouth to the user if s/he has crypted partitions that should get mounted during boot?

Ideally IMHO the release notes should also explain the problem in sufficient technical detail to allow the user to take his own steps to further understand the problem and to choose an alternative solution if he deems so.

Optimally you could suggest a wording?

Greets & thanks,
*t
