Hi there!
ATM there is no way to use the details theme without plymouth-drm:
=====

The problem is in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth:

text)
PLUGINS="details.so text.so"
;;
*)
PLUGINS="details.so text.so label.so"
;;
esac
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Trying to force text=details in the file above results in a usable boot
screen, which means that the details theme does not actually need
label.so. Here is a conditional patch with no indentation fixes:

However, according to my tests, the 'details' theme output does not
change at all if plymouth-drm is installed or not, so I would suggests
to completely remove the label.so dependency for the 'details' theme.
Here is the patch, again with no indentation fixes:

I then tried if 'details.so' is really needed by the 'text' theme and it
seems not, so here a patch on top of the last one:

All patches above have been tested without and with plymouth-drm, with
both 'text' and 'details' themes.
Please forgive me if I miss something, but documentation is not really
helpful. In case plymouth-drm is absolutely needed (e.g. to fix
#680689), then add "Depends: plymouth-drm | plymouth-x11".
Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
