Sure.

Yea, sounds like you got a pretty good grip on the problem.

Ah okay. Yea, the udev rule installation should probably be moved to the
50-plymouth/module-setup.sh
from
98-systemd/module-setup.sh

I think it's a dracut bug because dracut is currently the thing that sets
up udev rules in the initrd. If we put it in say plymouth-populate-initrd, then
there's a potential for rules to get copied more than once. It's better if
we do it all in one place I think.

I could personally go either way on this one. Harald, what do you think?
