Description of the change
At boot the user passsword for a crypted device is captured by plymouth when it is available. By default the "details" plugin is used in text based logins. On every key stroke, the "details" plugin in plymouth clears only the current line before overwriting it with the password prompt. If the prompt is multilined then the last line ends up being overwritten but the previous lines are repeated. Changing the password prompt string to be single lined when plymouth is available. (LP:#566818)
Tested on kvm.
Please consider this change for natty.

Thanks! I've merged this into lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/cryptsetup/ubuntu instead, as that's where this package is currently maintained (see the Vcs-Bzr field).
