In my case, just this limited added information is enough for me to enter the proper password/passphrase for devices that I plug in after the system is booted and gnome is up. I can certainly imagine some additional thinking about what is the "right information" to display. And I can certainly believe that different use cases may have different answers. Does Luks provide for a "comment" or "label" in the header (other than the UUID)? If so, that combined with the UUID would be very helpful.
