Hi Gordon, thanks for the bugreport. I escalate this bugreport to the debian-release team, asking for advice: would you accept another cryptsetup upload targeted to jessie in order to add 'plymouth' to the list of recommended packages?

I agree that plymouth should be pulled in per default on jessie installations with systemd and cryptsetup. While I don't know nothing about systemd without plymouth, when cryptsetup comes into play, plymouth is critical for the interactive password prompt at boot. Therefore I agree with the bug submitter, that cryptsetup in jessie should recommend plymouth. I could upload cryptsetup packages with the added recommends immediately after the pre-approval of the jessie release team.
