I did a fresh install of debian using an encrypted file system, during
the boot up sequence it asks for a LUKS password.  when I run splashy it 
1) doesn't show any info on the graphical screen, it stop and doesn't
prompt for a LUKS password. I have to esc out and goto VT2 to enter the
password.  Seems like whatever I have type when splashy is up doesn't
get passed through properly, the <cr> seems to work, because when I
<esc> back to text i have a few lines showing enter has been pressed
because I have a few failed password attempts.  once I have entered the
LUKS password, it returns to splashy and then prompts me for my
hibernation password which works okay, it just seems to be the
interface to the unlocking of the encrypted filesystem that is broken
