How do I permanently change the keyboard layout for the passphrase prompt during startup?

For me, simply setting KEYMAP=Y in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf worked -- I am now able to use my console's keymap for entering the LUKS passphrase.

echo "KEYMAP=Y" | sudo tee -a /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
update-initramfs -u
