You may be right that several keyscripts could benefit from using passdev to make a keyfile available, but keyscripts are not restricted to keyfile processing after all. Imagine a perfectly valid (from the keyscript interface point of view) keyscript which does nothing else than 'echo thisismykeys'. I still object against more complex keyscript preprocessing in the cryptdisks initscript. Anyway, this discussion is completely off-topic for the bugreport in question.
