Public bug reported:
The package 'plymouth-theme-spinner' provides a BGRT theme, which shows
the UEFI vendor logo in the Plymouth boot splash. Because the theme file
/usr/share/plymouth/themes/bgrt/bgrt.plymouth contains
"ImageDir=/usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner", it expects the animation
image files from the same path. However, the initramfs hook for Plymouth
at /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth is not aware of this, and
does not copy the said directory to the initramfs. As a result, it will
fall back to the text based Plymouth theme.
Current workaround is modifying the /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth
so the images from the spinner theme is included:
