Bug#858967: initramfs-tools: Superfluous LVM errors before passphrase prompt after LUKS+LVM install

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.127
Severity: minor
Although minor, it's pretty ugly to look at first thing when booting;
see attached screenshot.
After using the debian installer's guided LUKS+LVM option, the LVM
volumes are inside a LUKS container which must be unlocked with a
passphrase before any of them are visible.
Everything works fine, except that for some reason the initramfs tries
to bring up LVM, and even looks for the hidden volume group by name,
before asking for the passphrase.
After that fails, it asks for the passphrase, and then seems to start
LVM again, which succeeds and boot proceeds successfully.
It would be better if initramfs were aware that this volume group
depends on a certain crypttab entry, and didn't try to bring the
former up before unlocking the latter. This way, the first thing seen
at boot would be the passphrase prompt.
