The 3.19.0-8.8 is now 3.19.1 based.  Can folks running Vivid test this
kernel to confirm the bug is fixed in Vivid?  You should be able to just
apply the latest updates.

For Utopic, we may want to perform a kernel bisect to identify the
specific commit that caused this regression.  @NoOp, do you know that
last good 3.16 kernel that did not have this bug and the first 3.16
kernel version that did?  If not, I can provide some links to prior 3.16
kernel for testing.

Bug description:
  Currently in utopic the following happens when booting an encrypted
  setup:

  Press enter in grub, after a while screen freezes (or turns completely
  black) and stays like that. When I press the down key, I can see the
  password prompt. When I press the up key again, I get to the graphical
  password prompt.

  This is demonstrated in the following screencast:

  Maybe this is related to the version of plymouth utopic currently uses, a similar debian bug report seems to be resolved with a newer version 0.9.0-6, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=752752.
