Public bug reported:

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 and plymouth 0.9.4git20200109-0ubuntu6.
Whenever I run "update-initramfs -uk all", it fails and produces this
output:

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.4.0-14-generic
cp: cannot create regular file 
'/var/tmp/mkinitramfs_0bZgET/usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner/watermark.png': 
No such file or directory
E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth failed with return 1.
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-5.4.0-14-generic with 1.

I found a workaround: if I edit /usr/share/initramfs-
tools/hooks/plymouth and find this line:

                cp /usr/share/plymouth/ubuntu-logo.png
"${DESTDIR}/usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner/watermark.png"

And add this line right before it:

                mkdir -p "${DESTDIR}/usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner"

Then it runs successfully.
