Package: plymouth
Version: 0.9.4-1.1
Severity: important

I've lost remote computer entirely after changing plymouth theme:

  sudo plymouth-set-default-theme futureprototype
  sudo update-initramfs -u -k all

("futureprototype" was one of the available themes according to "--list").

That was on linux-image-686, fully dist-upgrade'd to Buster
after switching from previous theme "spacefun".

All commands executed successfully and without warnings yet after reboot all 
kernels drop into busybox shell, including recovery GRUB options rendering 
computer unbootable.

I had no idea that using plymouth could be so dangerous. :(
