I just sponsored lvm2 2.03.16-3ubuntu1 which should fix the FTBFS.

On including libdm-propagate-ioctl-errors-back-to-caller.patch: I am not
sure this bug is important enough to grant that. The patch may apply
cleanly to 2.03.16, but still it comes from 2.03.23, which is not a
trivial change in the upstream codebase.

I can see that better error messages on ENOKEY will result in an overall
better UX, however most commits in an upstream devel repo will somehow
improve something, still we try to rely on releases as cut by upstream
when possible, for the many reasons I certainly don't have to tell you
about. :-)

However: I may have missed the point here, and maybe the current UX is
both (1) terrible, or at least quite bad (2) affecting many users, and
not only users with an niche disk encryption configuration. If you think
this is the case, can you please update the bug and elaborate a bit more
on it?

Thanks!

Title:
  libdm returns wrong error code when dm-verity key cannot be found

Status in lvm2 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in lvm2 source package in Noble:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When libcryptsetup tries to activate a signed dm-verity volume, and
  the key is not in the kernel keyring, libdevicemapper does not return
  the appropriate ENOKEY, so the failure cannot be distinguished from
  other generic issues.

  This is fixed in the lvm2 version 2.03.23 upstream release.

  Please consider backporting this patch for Noble.
