Title:
  The plymouth label plugin pulls in too many dependencies

Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The plymouth label plugin pulls in too many dependencies (libpango,
  libcairo, X libs, etc.). This is an issue for integration in the
  initramfs.

  There is an alternative plugin (label-ft) that has been proposed upstream:
  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/-/merge_requests/91

  I have attached a debdiff that integrates that plugin in our
  packaging. As it is a separate plugin, core parts of plymouth are only
  slightly changed.

  The package built for kinetic can be found here too:
