Well, if this were in fact a question of the initramfs regeneration firing
before the plymouth package was fully installed, we would need to modify the
plymouth hook to detect this scenario and exit without error, also ensuring
that the initramfs is regenerated again from the plymouth postinst (the
latter is already done).  But it doesn't sound like this is the problem
you're having, so I'll not worry about it.

Thanks,

Title:
  plymouth dependency dejavu font missing

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The plymouth-Package (and his plymouth*-dependencies) does not contain the font deja-vu-sans-Font. The file is in ttf-dejavu-core, but is no dependency of plymouth (but of vlc).
  So, if you install a ubuntu without vlc (e.g. because of own packaging), plymouth will show no messages on bootup, but little little boxes instead of characters.

  This bug is around since lucid (plymouth 0.8.2-2ubuntu2)
