Ah.  Then this is not a bug.  The package declared a dependency, and you
removed the files from the depended-on package; there's no reason why we
would support this.  Feel free to provide a symlink from the package-
installed location to where you've put the files, or vice-versa, but I'm
not going to add complexity to the plymouth package (or other packages)
to support this by-definition unsupported configuration.
