This warning seems to be caused by the label control for plymouth, which
uses pango to render text.

We should be able to suppress the warning simply by generating a bogus
/etc/passwd file in the initrd with an entry for root, such that glib
finds a valid user entry for uid 0.

Patch to do this attached; it's currently building in my PPA
(https://launchpad.net/~broder/+archive/ubuntu-tests), and should be
tested to confirm it eliminates the problem.

** Patch added: "plymouth_0.8.2-2ubuntu6.debdiff"
