Bug Description

Binary package hint: plymouth

See attached screenshot. Is it useful for our users to know that init killed plymouth (that's probably another bug since plymouth shouldn't be killed yet there) or that swap that they never even activated got disabled?

None of this information is useful. All that the user should care about is whether the system is ready for reboot after the installation is complete. Plymouth dies on amd64, not on i386, but it's still ugly on i386 and that should be fixed.

Plymouth doesn't die on i386 (picture attached), but it's still ugly for the same reasons listed.
