Hi Iain,

The answer is mdadm.  Plymouth is a boot-time multiplexer; it will not
*always* be present in the initramfs, but *when* it is present, it owns
the console and other packages need to interface with it if they need to
talk to the user.  In some cases, such as initramfs-tools' own rescue
shell handling, this interfacing consists of calling 'plymouth quit' and
restoring the console; in other cases, such as cryptsetup or mdadm, the
correct behavior is to use plymouth itself for prompting.

Dmitrijs, could you please take a look at fixing the mdadm initramfs
script to use plymouth when present?
