** Description changed:

  When crypttab specifies a key-file for the container of the root file-
  system but there is no keyscript= option no cryptsetup support is
  installed in the initrd.img.
  
  Currently the cryptroot initramfs hook script knows its a problem and
  will report:
  
  cryptsetup: WARNING: target LUKS_OS uses a key file, skipped
  
  This is BAD behaviour that renders the root file-system container
  inaccessible at boot time.
  
  Regardless of a key-script being available cryptsetup support should be
  installed into the initrd.img to enable the user to take manual steps to
  unlock the container. The hook script has no knowledge about pass
  phrases that might be set in other LUKS slots that are available to the
  user.
  
+ This is the behaviour when a keyscript is specified but doesn't exist.
+ 
  The attached patch modifies the behaviour to include cryptsetup in the
  initrd.img and modify the warning to the user.
  
  cryptsetup: WARNING: target LUKS_OS uses a key file, but no keyscript is
  set. Please ensure there is also a typed pass-phrase set.
