It doesn't look like you have plymouth in your initramfs at all; which
is normal, it's only included in the initramfs if you have the
cryptsetup package installed.  So this looks like a duplicate of bug
#864466.

** Package changed: plymouth (Ubuntu) => kbd (Ubuntu)

Title:
  initramfs rescue prompt blocked by splash screen

Status in “kbd” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In precicse, when the splash screen is enabled, a boot failure that lands you at the initramfs emergency shell is not shown.  To reproduce, just edit the boot line at the grub prompt and change the root UUID.  If you remove the splash argument, you get the initramfs rescue shell like you should, if you do not, then you are just stuck at the blank plymouth splash screen forever.
