The plymouth initramfs hook has no l10n support.

Probably.  Even if it was, it would still be a bug for the plymouth hook to
require it without a dependency.

Which is correct! We still do need a serif font and a fallback
font for languages not covered by the ubuntu font. Are you implying
DejaVu font is not shipped by default on Lubuntu at all?

Making it a dependency is NOT the correct solution for this bug.  The
correct solution is to fix the initramfs script to use the Ubuntu fonts
instead, which is what we had prior to the Debian merge.
