No, they should not. The moment you expect keyscripts to handle tries you've broken askpass as it can't know if an passphrase is correct or not. You also risk breaking any other scripts in a similar fashion.

Also, for timeout I fail to see the point. crypt devices fall into two categories, those that are necessary to boot (here a timeout makes no sense) and those which aren't (here you'd normally start the mapping yourself while sitting at the console so you can decide when and if to cancel the setup attempt).

Unless any surprising arguments are presented I intend to close this bug.
