I don't know what you mean to say here.

I.e., mangle files that are installed as part of the package.

This is unsupported.

It is not "plymouth 0.8.2".  You are truncating version numbers, ignoring
the fact that changes are made to the software in the package revisions. 
The Ubuntu text theme is not part of the upstream plymouth 0.8.2 release,
and is maintained *entirely* via package patch level.

Yes, because the feature of supporting text configuration via the theme file
was not introduced until the version included in Ubuntu 11.04.

There is no bug here.

I don't know what description you are expecting to change, but it's clear
that whatever you're trying to accomplish is not supported.
