On normal desktops plymouth-shutdown is started by rc.conf job, before
emitting runlevels 0, 1 or 6.
Which in-turn should stop lightdm (if present) and bring up plymouthd
in shutdown mode.

What is confusing however in the ps outputs attached is that in all
three process outputs:
 - plymouthd in boot mode is still running
 - /bin/plymouth quit has not completed

I'll experiment with such a minimal setup in a VM.
