We have plymouth-label installed, but there's a combination, which makes it a problem :-)
1. ttf-dejavu-core is only a "OR"-connection, other fonts could be installed instead, BUT
2. the dejavu-font is needed in the initramfs-hook, when you build a new version of the initramfs (look at /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth line 68 and 72)
3. since there's no other copied font in the hook, it is not possible to use another one :)

And with our Installsetup & theme (limux) the font wasn't installed at the right time. and if it is directly used in a initramfs-hook, it is pretty important. perhaps i misunderstood some policy guidelines about ubuntu packaging, in that case, please give me a pointer :)
