[Bug 1976352] Re: The plymouth label plugin pulls in too many dependencies

[Alfonso Sanchez-Beato]

** Description changed:

  The plymouth label plugin pulls in too many dependencies (libpango,
  libcairo, X libs, etc.). This is an issue for integration in the
  initramfs.
  
  There is an alternative plugin (label-ft) that has been proposed upstream:
  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/-/merge_requests/91
+ As it is a separate plugin, core parts of plymouth are only slightly changed.
  
- I have attached a debdiff that integrates that plugin in our packaging.
- As it is a separate plugin, core parts of plymouth are only slightly
- changed.
- 
- The package built for kinetic can be found here too:
