How to change disk password prompt text while using luks.name?

I have an encrypted drive which decrypts on boot using luks.name hook in bootloader config. I want to change the decryption prompt from "Please enter the passphrase to unlock disk: x" to something more unique. For example in Ubuntu I could modify cryptsetup script in initramfs hooks, but obviously, there is no such script in Arch. However I couldn't find any helpful info in wiki. So, how to do this?

It looks to be hard coded into the source see https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob … tup.c#L570
