The script update-debian-edu-artwork-softwaves (shipped with the package 
debian-edu-artwork-softwaves) causes it.

This script is triggered after the packages plymouth and desktop-base 
have been installed and d-e-artwork is going to be set as default theme, 
including the one for plymouth.

No easy way to fix this bug, I guess. IMO the only solution would be to 
drop the plymouth configuration from the script mentioned above and to 
let cfengine do the job after installation.

IIRC it had been planned to use update-alternatives for the plymouth 
theme as well, but it has been too late for desktop-base to implement it 
for stretch.

I guess this bug should be addressed to src:debian-edu-artwork.
