Package: plymouth
Version: 24.004.60-2+b2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer, ther is something wrong with a keymap in plymouth's
cryptsetup password prompt: backspace does not delete characters, but
prints something into prompt instead. Ctrl+Backspace seems to delete
characters like plain Backspace should.
A while back this behavior only happened when external monitors were
connected, but for several months now it always happens.
