[Bug 1592405] Re: plymouth hook in initramfs needs font but doesn't Depend on it

[Jb]

Earlier in the install I see that it says it lists "fonts-deja" as a
*suggested* (but not installed) package. fonts-deja includes fonts-
dejavu-core and fonts-dejavu-extra.

Simple fix is to bump "fonts-deja" to be a dependency?

Title:
  plymouth hook in initramfs needs font but doesn't Depend on it

Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:

  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.
