Why only in cryptopensc and not in cryptroot?  Also /usr/bin/setleds
comes from the ‘kbd’ package which cryptsetup-initramfs doesn't depend
on (it's only a Recommends, not a hard Depends), so `copy_exec` needs to
wrapped to check for the program's existence.

Does that really *preserve* the numlock state?  I'm not familiar with
setleds(1), but according to the manpage it *sets* numlock and changes
the default settings.
