Comment 21 for bug 509487

This bug was fixed in the package plymouth - 0.8.0~-8

---------------
plymouth (0.8.0~-8) lucid; urgency=low

  [ Steve Langasek ]
  * Include label.so in the initramfs, as well as the font support files it
    depends on, needed for any text prompts or messages. This will bloat the
    initramfs substantially (about 3MB) and impact boot performance as a
    result, but the solution to that is to not include plymouth in the
    initramfs unless we know it's needed for prompting (e.g., cryptsetup).
    LP: #496765.
  * Move x11 renderer into a separate package, to avoid pulling GTK into the
    server install by default. LP: #509579.
  * debian/rules: fix up the dh_makeshlibs exclude path to match where we're
    currently installing.
  * src/plugins/splash/script/plugin.c: the script plugin has no support at
    all for text consoles, so if there are no pixel displays available,
    return an error so that plymouth can fall back to the text plugin.
    LP: #506717.
  * Always include the 'details' and 'text' themes in the initramfs, since
    plymouth uses these as built-in fallbacks and they're tiny.
  * src/main.c: when a splash plugin fails to load, make sure to unregister
    any related keyboard handlers.
  * don't let the password walk off the end of the dialog box. LP: #496782.
  * split the plymouth upstart job into plymouth and plymouth-splash, so that
    plymouth starts up early and doesn't have to race gdm; and stop
    unconditionally adding plymouth to the initramfs now that we can start it
    this way.
  * debian/plymouth.postinst: also set the theme on first install, or on
    upgrade from versions prior to 0.8.0~-7, because update-initramfs called
    before plymouth has been configured for the first time will accidentally
    cause a call to --reset to use the text theme instead of the intended
    default.
  * debian/plymouth.plymouth-splash.upstart: don't wait on tty-device-added,
    these are now guaranteed to be available; copied from gdm upstart job.
  * Depend on mountall (>= 2.0) to ensure we have the above guarantee.
  * Mark /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-bottom/plymouth executable,
    otherwise initramfs-tools skips it. LP: #509487.
  * Drop the Debian revision (-1) from the version in the symbols file, to
    fix a lintian warning.
