Title:
  Can't boot after upgrade from lucid to precise, cause cryptroot in
  initrd.img is missing

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I upgrade yesterday from lucid to precise using "update-manager -d"
  and following the steps. After the reboot I had a broken grub (just a
  grub shell, no entries). I started my computer with xubuntu live cd
  and fixed it via chroot and grub-install, update-grub.

  After another reboot, the grub menu was fixed, but it couldn't find
  root, even didn't ask for passphrase.

  I found out, that there is no cryptroot in conf/conf.d/ inside the
  init.rd image.

  I need to put dm-crypt in /etc/modules before update-initramfs fixed
  the conf. As far as I know and what I saw in my backups in lucid there
  was no need for that.

  If I'm right, there should be a procedure which checks if the actual
  system would boot after update e.g. checkin for dm-crypt in
  /etc/modules.

  I use lvm2 and LUKS
