keyboard when DHCP is not available

This happens with the 4.1 kernel too after running:
update-initramfs -u -k all
I suspect that this bug comes from the following change:
dropbear (2015.68-1) unstable; urgency=low
+ Run configure_networking in the foreground. (Closes: #584780, #626181,
#739519.)
Network configuration doesn't end until DHCP is available, and
since it is run in the foreground, one never gets the prompt for
the passphrase.
