@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) ?
