Title:
  ubuntu-logo theme doesn't wrap long messages

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: plymouth

  In attempting to port some scripts from usplash to plymouth, I can't
  find any way to show extended messages on the screen.  I expect that
  either they would wrap, or I'd be able to output multiple lines at the
  same time, but neither is happening.

  Here's the command I used for test reference:
  $ sudo plymouth message --text="this is gonna be a very very long message.  i want to see what happens when plymouth gets such a long message.  can it handle it?  Lets see.  Come on you can do it.  Show the whole message"
