Crypted filesystems can be decrypted using an on-disk key instead of a
passphrase; it's debatable whether that's ever sensible, but it does mean
there are use cases where cryptsetup is used but doesn't prompt on boot.

Anyway, I agree that it's reasonable to have usplash come up in this
particular case - just want to make sure we know what we're in for in
karmic.
