Title:
  plymouth dependency dejavu font missing

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The plymouth-Package (and his plymouth*-dependencies) does not contain the font deja-vu-sans-Font. The file is in ttf-dejavu-core, but is no dependency of plymouth (but of vlc).
  So, if you install a ubuntu without vlc (e.g. because of own packaging), plymouth will show no messages on bootup, but little little boxes instead of characters.

  This bug is around since lucid (plymouth 0.8.2-2ubuntu2)
