Is there scope to ship a tiny binary which replaces pinentry with `cryptsetup-initramfs`? (GNUPG would be none-the-wiser.) This would make the family of shipped keyscripts work really well just by setting up `/etc/crypttab`, without any initramfs script hacking at all. At the moment its tantalizingly close!
