I read some other thread regarding Ubuntu making plymouth a too-strong 
dependency.  et. al., so I guesss this is our bug.   Most importantly, this: 

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/556372

...to which you ignored your users?  And this:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/553285

...to which

It's increasingly possible that you have bug reporters who are capable
of what they are doing, yet thwarted by "best approach" methods
determined by people who are looking out for their own best interests.
Although I might not question your take, if you would like this to go
away then your users would greatly appreciate an explicitly sound
explanation as to why you've decided to ram plymouth, which apparently
ignores the console,  our throats.

I've browsed at least a half-dozen other bug reports, some of them very long, 
which do not exist in debian systems.  
Although debian is a pain too, at least they are open about everything and 
those of us wiling and capable of modifying C code,  are not unilaterally 
thrown into the dustbin.   

If someone at Canonical is willing to get onto a con-call regarding your
userbase, I am happy to do so.

This is an Ubuntu-specific bug.  Politically saying, that freedom should
extend to new users.  Hiding the boot process behind a compiled C
program is a BAD THING.  Our users should always have the option to
understand and learn from the boot process from any terminal.  And this
should be an easy thing for them to do.
