Title:
  0.9.3-1ubuntu4 broke livecd reboot plymouth in qemu

Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  0.9.3-1ubuntu4 removed the implicit wait on the daemon. this seems to
  have broken iso reboots in qemu with uefi (no secureboot) and qxl vga.

  - start ubuntu-desktop iso
  - install
  - restart system
  - plymouth never comes up instead you get lovely IO errors

  if you boot console=ttyS0 (and have a console attached obviously)
  you'll further more see that the "remove medium and press enter"
  message is actually printed there. my assumption is that casper-stop
  in some capacity actually relied on plymouth --ping delaying the stop
  until plymouthd actually responds. since that is no longer the case
  things implode.

  in general it seems to me that the change in ubuntu4 is super invasive
  in outright changing implicit upstream behaviour which any number of
  things might rely on.
