Last I remember from squeeze (didn't check wheezy too much), plymouth
was quite buggy/broken, and has been RC buggy for a long while (hello
libdrm-nouveau); I'm not sure it's a good idea to install it by default,
but I'm happy to take opinions.

Cc-ing debian-x@ since ISTR some "fun" on the X side when plymouth was
involved.
