  * Fix initramfs hook to look in the right path for fonts, now that we

Title:
  DejaVuSans isn't included in initramfs because plymouth doesn't use
  the right location for the fonts

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  On a fresh trusty install:
  Issue:
  _ when booting, letters in bootscreen messages are replaced by rectangles (with cryptsetup installed for example).
  _ running "update-initramfs -k all -u" produces a warning:
     "cp: impossible d'évaluer «/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf»: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type"

  locate DejaVuSans :
  /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf
  /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf
  /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono-Bold.ttf
  /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf

  error in path: ttf-dejavu --> dejavu

  Obviously the fonts' location changed when 'ttf-dejavu-core' was renamed to 'fonts-dejavu-core'
  Plymouth should be updated to reflect that change.

  The warning comes from:
  /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth:	cp /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf ${DESTDIR}/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/
