Tested different themes using plymouth-x11 (0.8.8-0ubuntu6) on today's
Kubuntu raring daily iso:

$ sudo apt-get install plymouth-x11
$ sudo apt-get install plymouth-theme-#...

For all themes:
    $ sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
    # select respective theme
    $ sudo plymouthd && sudo plymouth --show-splash
    # switch to terminal emulator window
    $ sudo plymouth message --text="Please remove installation media and press ENTER:"
    $ sudo plymouth quit

Result (text position on screen in parentheses):

plymouth-theme-edubuntu (13.03.1): no text
plymouth-theme-fade-in (0.8.8-0ubuntu6): ok (top, left)
plymouth-theme-glow (0.8.8-0ubuntu6): ok (top, left)
plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo (13.04ubuntu11): no text
plymouth-theme-lubuntu-logo (0.38.1): no text
plymouth-theme-sabily (1.2): ok (bottom, center)
plymouth-theme-script (0.8.8-0ubuntu6): ok (top, left)
plymouth-theme-solar (0.8.8-0ubuntu6): ok (top, left)
plymouth-theme-spinfinity (0.8.8-0ubuntu6): ok (top, left)
plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo (0.8.8-0ubuntu6): no text
plymouth-theme-ubuntustudio-logo (0.46): ok (bottom, center)
plymouth-theme-xubuntu-logo (13.04.4): ok (bottom, center)

If this testing method is correct, the missing message actually might be
a plymouth (theme) bug.

During shutdown after testing - having plymouth-theme-xubuntu-logo still
selected -, no splash was displayed; after switching to tty1 and back to
tty7 it *was* displayed - including the actual/original "Please remove
installation media ..." message.

Title:
  Live session shutdown "hangs" (not showing "Please remove media ..."
  message)

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Testing with Kubuntu raring daily iso of 2013-04-18 running as live
  system from a USB flash drive (on a Samsung R55 laptop).

  During shutdown, the system "hangs"; when a key (e.g. Return) gets pressed, shutdown completes.
  Probably the "Please remove installation media ..." message (which prompts the user to press Enter to complete shutdown) is missing.

  This has been the case with (at least) 2013-04-12's Kubuntu raring
  daily iso, too.

  Could also be a problem with Plymouth/Kubuntu's plymouth theme...
  Plymouth splash is the logo one (graphical "Kubuntu" logo with glow is shown).
  Version: plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo: 13.04ubuntu9

  This bug might be similar to/the same as bug #966480 (which concerns
  shutdown after installation).
