Bug#540761: loop-aes-utils: initramfs script should wait for /dev/tty before losetup (which calls gpg)

[Lionel Elie Mamane]

Package: loop-aes-utils
Version: 2.13.1-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

In the initramfs script, when /sbin/losetup is called, it typically
will call gpg, which usually needs interaction with the user (to ask
for a passphrase) and hence needs /dev/tty.

This patch makes it wait for /dev/tty before starting losetup.
