Hello Steve,

Thanks for your comments.

As for "no case in which plymouth is not used": I'm afraid I grossly 
misunderstand when plymouth is used.
I experimented the "command-line" behavior I described above when booting in 
"recovery mode".
Is plymouth also used in "recovery mode" or when one removes the 'splash' 
parameter from the kernel boot options?
cryptsetup "provisions" for when plymouth is not installed/active; in 
'/lib/cryptsetup/cryptdisks.functions', function 'do_luks':
[...]
                if [ -x /bin/plymouth ] && plymouth --ping; then
                        KEYSCRIPT="plymouth ask-for-password --prompt"
                        keyscriptarg=$(printf "$keyscriptarg")
                else
                        KEYSCRIPT="/lib/cryptsetup/askpass"
                fi
[...]

But not a big issue I agree. Merely an "esthetic" one.
