I've bisected this down to a single upstream commit.  At the moment I'm
at a complete loss how this commit has any effect on the display of
text.

    script: seed random number generator
    
    Most splash plugins that use random numbers
    seed the random number generator with the
    current time, but script fails, too.
    
    This commit fixes that.

Title:
  Splash skips text when asking for LUKS password

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When you use full-disk encryption with LVM as per the alternate
  installer or the netboot installer, during bootup you are presented
  with a text box to enter the HDD encryption password.

  On Precise this box was presented with a message to enter the password
  for the specified disk by uuid. In raring, this is no longer the case.
  There's just the box.

  If this is hardware-specific, this was tested on a Dell e6410 laptop.

  See the attachment.
