Well, that's not actually the case. It's sufficient for the primary keyboard 
layout of the system to be used during initramfs, which can be changed and 
then the initramfs rebuilt.

What you're asking for would be incredibly difficult. It could be done, but 
not with Plymouth, and not without increasing the size of initramfs by several 
10s of not 100s of MB. Right now, Plymouth doesn't handle input. Well, it 
does, but not most things. It's actually the underlying vtty that handles 
input of the passphrase.
