Ah, sorry. I was thinking of filesystems to be unlocked, not key data
itself. I include "initramfs" in crypttab and I use passphrases on boot,
and that keyword is what enables the prompt for the filesystem(s) in
question. I sometimes have others that use keys that are on the encrypted
root, and those don't specify "initramfs" as they can wait until the normal
boot phase.

Only vaguely related, something I haven't played with yet that I'd like to:
