This is a somewhat old LP bug, but for completeness it worth mentioning here
that recently some patches were merged on initramfs-tools and cryptsetup, that
allow a good experience booting with LUKS-encrypted rootfs on top of a degraded
RAID1 array; for details, please check:

Luis, I would like to do as you suggest. My partition table is seen here:

Will the following work?

That's great you're able to access your encrypted filesystem. From your
apt history, there's nothing really obvious there that could break the
system on upgrade (but I may be wrong, will investigate that further).
For the moment, one thing you could try is to rebuild once again your
initramfs. T
