Bug Description

Starting in libdrm 2.4.31 which will hopefully be pulled into precise, libdrm-intel1 will only build on x86/x64 arches. We are needless building/shipping irrelevant libdrm-intel1 on arches such an armel/armhf/powerpc that can never use it in libdrm to work around this bug but the fix has been commited upstream a year ago to plymouth

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/plymouth/commit/?id=22a1273bb2c9dc0d3188b8ed11b0c97bfca6d3ef

Backporting this plus passing --disable-libdrm-intel at configure time on !i386/!amd64 would be really appreciated as well as save on the image size.

This bug was fixed in the package plymouth - 0.8.4-0ubuntu1

---------------
plymouth (0.8.4-0ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
    - drop patches originating from or merged upstream: debug-fixes.patch,
      gcc45-arith-workaround.patch,
      main-Don-t-watch-for-keyboard-input-if-no-keyboard.patch,
      upstart-bridge.patch, upstream-*.patch
    - debian/rules: pass --with-log-viewer to explicitly request its
      inclusion.
    - update libplymouth2.symbols.
  * debian/patches/initramfsless-boot.patch: clean up our failure path when
    /dev/pts isn't available yet:
    - don't free a buffer that we might use again later
    - once we've created the session object, keep it around, instead of
      freeing it again and leaving a dangling reference to it in the loop
      exit handler list.
    it's not clear if this was working before, but it definitely hits an
    assert now. LP: #981314.
  * Build with --disable-libdrm_intel on !x86, to avoid an unnecessary
    dependency. LP: #927424.
