[Bug 1592405] Re: plymouth hook in initramfs needs font but doesn't Depend on it

[Jb]

I retested bionic lubuntu alternate 20180401.  This iso includes
"plymouth 0.9.3-1ubutu4".  Note: this version of plymouth ends in ".4"
and not the ".3" version mentioned in comment #11.

When I reviewed the syslog from the install there are still errors with
the update-initramfs due to the missing font file.

I think .4 is an upstream merge from Debian?:
http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/p/plymouth/plymouth_0.9.3-1ubuntu4/changelog

Did version .4 undo the fixes in the .3 version?

  If THEME_NAME "ubuntu-logo" is something other than the four, then
  if /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSerif.ttf does not exist, then
  copy /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSerif.ttf somewhere.

  That file doesn't exist because it's not demanded by plymouth package.
