Same issue with the kernel aforementioned (3.19.0-30-generic) on Ubuntu
GNOME 15.04.

Oddly booting with that kernel in recovery mode gets the keyboard to
work (tried to fix dpkg from there but it can't download package,
although it seemed there was one package missing).

Blindly entering the password doesn't work. I need to boot on 3.19.0-28
for being able to enter passphrase.

Title:
  Cryptsetup Keyboard not working on Xubuntu 3.19.0-30

Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I am running Xubuntu 15.04 and just upgraded to the latest kernel (3.19.0-30).
  After upgrading the boot time is longer (what is negligible) but the more severe error is, that I cannot enter my passphrase when I see the crypt dialog.
  I just see the dialog to enter my passphrase, but when I try to enter it, nothing appears in the textfield. I tried with the builtin laptop keyboard but also with an external USB keyboard.

  I thought about supplying more information, but things like the syslog
  are not helping apparently (I was not able to boot until the syslog
  would capture information...). If you need anything I can provide, I
  gladly help.

  [Test case]
  1. On an affected system boot into kernel 3.19.0-30

  [Solution]
  The "solution" for now is booting the older Kernel 3.19.0-28 (which isn't a real solution).
