Public bug reported:

[Impact]
clevis <= 12 did not integrate with initramfs-tools. This meant that if users 
wanted to automatically decrypt a luks volume for /, they had to use dracut, 
which is poorly supported in Ubuntu (see bug 1814460).

[Test Case]
sudo apt install clevis-luks clevis-initramfs
Bind your root luks / device to a remote tang server, e.g.:
sudo clevis luks bind -d /dev/vda3 tang '{"url": "http://192.168.122.1"}'
Accept the key when prompted. Reboot - your luks / should automatically decrypt.

[Regression Risk]
clevis introduced initramfs-tools support by adding a new leaf package - 
clevis-initramfs. Existing users would not have this package installed, so 
would be immune from any issues it causes by default.
