Which is correct! We still do need a serif font.... and a fallback
font for languages not covered by the ubuntu font. Are you implying
DejaVu font is not shipped by default on Lubuntu at all?

  If THEME_NAME "ubuntu-logo" is something other than the four, then
  if /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSerif.ttf does not exist, then
  copy /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSerif.ttf somewhere.

  That file doesn't exist because it's not demanded by plymouth package.
