Bug Description
Binary package hint: debian-installer
I selected 'manual partitioning' during installation and encrypted two partitions. I find it annoying/overkill to ask for a passphrase for each of these partitions during boot. It would be nice if there were at least an option of 'use shared passphrase' or something, allowing the user to unlock multiple encrypted partitions with a single passphrase.

This is still a problem even through Karmic (9.10) and Lucid (10.04) beta 1: in various situations, input is eaten, or prompts for decryption of a second device are never received.
