Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: Antoine Beaupré <anarcat@debian.org>

Dear Maintainer,
in his installation report [1] Antoine Beaupré requested to have plymouth installed by default.
While some want to have it and some don't, I think it really might be a good idea to install plymouth by default, as 'novices' generally prefer it, and anyone who wants to see the boot messages should have sufficient knowledge to remove it. 

So please install plymouth by default.

Best regards,
Andreas
