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.
I know that plymouth had a problem with '--retain-splash' and gdm 3.4 but that has been fixed by introducing gdm 3.8.
Currently plymouth has only one bug and that is tagged moreinfo.Also I think there is some race condition in sysvinit, so that sometimes when shutting down, plymouth is killed too early, but this problem vanished for me, as I switched to a modern init system.
