Hi Gabor, Funnily enough I stumbled across a blog post yesterday that may have the answer about that: http://web.dodds.net/~vorlon/wiki/blog/Plymouth_is_not_a_bootsplash/
Considering Plymouth is the boot time I/O multiplexer, I understand it is the package that is responsible for scheduling the different events that happen at startup and shutdown so I would file your bugs #2 and #3 under plymouth.
