@Maintainers, please reconsider.

I just had a real usecase here where some box just hung and the last message I 
was seeing came from "plymouth". I booted with
"ro nosplash noplymouth INIT_VERBOSE=yes init=/sbin/init -v", but it still 
hung. See plymouth-1.png under:

   http://nerdbynature.de/bits/LP-506297/

So I removed plymouth via equivs (control file & installable .deb on URL
above) and it turned out it wasn't plymouth-related at all. As a bonus,
the screen does not "clear" any more after boot, so I can see all the
boot messages (if one had to plugin a display device :))

Again, please tell what plymouth would be good for in a Ubuntu _server_
installation. Last I checked, Ubuntu still supports server
installations, does it not? Options:

1) remove plymouth altogether on Ubuntu server (until it does something useful)
2) make plymouth "Recommends", not "Depends"
3) ?

Thanks for listening,
C.
