[Pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#461548: cryptsetup: Passphrase prompt should at least start on a new line

[Frans Pop]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.6~pre1-1
Severity: normal

When I boot my laptop, I currently get the following:
Starting early crypto disks...  strider-home_crypt (starting)Enter LUKS passphrase: _
key slot 0 unlocked.
Command successful.
  strider-swap_crypt (starting)done.

The fact that the password prompt is displayed at the end of a line with
progress info is rather user unfriendly.

Also, printing "done." hard after the last partition is not very nice.

I would personally rather see everything printed on separate lines, e.g.:
Starting early crypto disks...
  strider-home_crypt (starting)
Enter LUKS passphrase: _
key slot 0 unlocked.
Command successful.
  strider-swap_crypt (starting)
done.

Cheers,
FJP
