That's not what 'noearly' means.  It refers to two passes after the root
filesystem has been mounted.  We don't currently implement that two-pass
system correctly, but that's unrelated to any problem you would be
experiencing with the filesystem layout as described.

If the passphrase for the swap partition isn't requested in the
initramfs, that's a bug.  Please file a separate bug report about this.

There's no reason at all for this to be configurable.  The only devices
that are ever accessed in the initramfs are the root device and the swap
partition (to check for a resume signature); typing in passphrases for
other filesystems at this stage has no value, because if the system
*does* resume from swap, the passphrase you typed won't be used.

There's no reason to draw a line between these two cases.

pass

There are no "mount -a passes" at all in lucid.
