(The regular sniping at Ubuntu on this list reflects badly on Debian
users in general and on this list's users in particular...)
There's a lot of crap on the internet about plymouth.
Ubuntu defaulted to both plymouth and kms with 10.04 and because one
of plymouth's roles is to provide a bootsplash it was blamed for the
lack of a pure text console or for video boot problems.
There were some purely plymouth problems (for example, it initially
wouldn't display a progress bar when a partition was being fsck'd) but
the whole anti-plymouth thing is very much overdone.
