Title:
  cryptsetup does not support the 'keyscript' crypttab option when used
  with systemd

Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Our company is using Ubuntu as our main OS now. Before we decided to switch 
to 16.04 (with systemd) we used keyscript= crypttab option to manage some of 
our encrypted volumes.
  Now with Systemd that's no longer possible and we're forced to use upstart, 
which in itself contains several nasty bugs at this time (these aren't exactly 
the scope of this bug though).

  Due to removed functionality that was present in previous release, I
  still consider this a bug in cryptsetup even though it's related to
  upstream. I know that systemd introduced a concept of 'password
  agents' but AFAIK there's no way to automate the process of getting
  block device keys - because these agents only accept ASCII text (and
  our keys are already binary, that'd take a huge effort to redo
  everything to use, say, base64 anyway).
