So what would you think of making an alternative of :

This would let desktop-base override the version currently shipped by plymouth,
without the need for plymouth to add a dependency on desktop-base.
I'm not sure I would use the alternative for the
/usr/share/plymouth/plymouthd.defaults file.
Unless plymouth grows some other mechanism to override only
the theme, I think it makes a lot of sense... right now plymouth gets
installed by default through desktop-base and there's no good way
for a derivative to override that theme.
For now we added a call to "plymouth-set-default-theme" in desktop-base
but that modifies a conffile...
Ubuntu is doing something with /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth,
I would go that way maybe (see
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/plymouth.git/tree/src/main.c#n449).
I believe overriding/diverting the default theme is not sufficient since a
theme is now hardcoded in /usr/share/plymouth/plymouthd.defaults (as
shipped by plymouth).
It would be really nice to a have a proper endorsed solution to this for
derivatives. Up to now, all our theme overrides are made through
desktop-base without modifying anything else, it would be nice if this
could be the case for plymouth as well.
FTR, I opened https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/issues/78
upstream, so a proper solution would be merged there if provided.
My idea was to set the default theme to "debian-default" (or something
like that) in /usr/share/plymouth/plymouthd.defaults and let that
directory be an alternative that can be managed by desktop-base
For buster the proper theme (futureprototype) has been set in
/usr/share/plymouth/plymouthd.defaults as a temporary solution
