---------------
plymouth (0.9.3-1ubuntu11) disco; urgency=medium

  * Workaround a plugin being already deactivated when we try to remove input
    watchers for keyboards in DRM mode. Also guard against races at removing
    input watches and new device detection at startup. (LP: #1794292)
    - debian/patches/fix_unrefd_plugin_interface.patch
    - debian/patches/remember_found_devices.patch
