It'll apply to any case where you need to use the keyboard during the initramfs, at least.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Verified that initrds come out with the correct modules to boot quantal kernels on precise, and independently verified with another user that this was all working for him and his cryptsetup config.
