No, the default is to wait only for those filesystems that are known to be
required for successfully starting the other services. cryptsetup is a
special case in that it interferes with gdm startup directly, regardless of
where the related filesystems are mounted (and even if they're not mounted
at all by default).

We should try to find a better solution for Lucid on this issue that doesn't
require use of bootwait.

Not true; both gdm and ttys wait for the same set of filesystems, gdm is
just started first whereas ttys are started only after the rest of the init
scripts run.
