Bug Description

The message displayed while disk drives are being scanned is something like "Drives are being scanned, this may take a while." The comma splice should be removed in favour of a semicolon or a full stop.

marked as duplicate of Bug #556372 , which as well is just a typo:

'control' in the *.deb package contains erranously 'plymouth' in the 'Depends:' statement.
