You can uninstall plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text if you want. It is only a Recommends.
I have retitled this bug since we're not going to stop packages from being built with PNG support; however, maybe we can evaluate whether we need to have a Plymouth theme in ubuntu-standard. ** Summary changed: - libpng is installed by default + Remove plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text from ubuntu-standard? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1518130 Title: Remove plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text from ubuntu-standard? Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Ubuntu server cloud images include libpng by default. This is unnecessary and poor practice. It wastes space and poses a security risk. Looks like it is installed because "ubuntu-standard" recommends "plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text" which depends on "libplymouth2" which depends on "libpng12-0". The description for "plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text" is "graphical boot animation and logger - ubuntu-logo theme". This is obviously inappropriate for any server image, and especially for a cloud-based server image.
