Source: cryptsetup
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
During the installation process of setting up my operating system, I
chose as the default keyboard layout the Portuguese (Brazilian), then
set up the encryption of disk volumes and then set an encryption
password using accented characters.
After the initial boot was presented the prompt "Please unlock disk
sda1_crypt:"
Then I typed my password and received the following message: "cryptseup:
cryptsetup failed, bad password or option?". So I ended up locked out
of the operating system.
To solve the problem, I had to re-install Debian Jessie and set a
cryptographic password without accented characters and then managed to
unlock the encrypted volume.

AFAICT this works when kbd and console-setup (both of which are
cryptsetup-initramfs' Recommends hence should be pulled in by default)
are installed.
