A file placed in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d with USPLASH=y tells
initramfs-tools that it is needed.

We don't do fsck, etc. in the initramfs - the only prompt we do there is
asking for a cryptroot password - and that's something that can be
handled by cryptsetup.

(Right now, not handling it is fine too, it'll just prompt on the
console)
