Hmm here it does not find anything, but plymouth is in the initram

When looking for ttf
grep
ttf -r /etc/initramfs-tools /usr/share/initramfs-tools/ 
/usr/share/lintian/overrides
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth:  if
[ -e /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSerif.ttf ]

which brings me to the idea that I always wanted to look into this beast a
bit closer

I'd start with a straightforward approach:

lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img* | grep ttf$

There can be many reasons why this package's post-installation
script may have failed. I don't think you have shown the full
output.

Running "apt upgrade" again will probably either repeat the action
or tell you what to type to repeat the action, so please do that and
show us the full output.

Cheers,
Andy
