I wouldn't know, since plymouth and all those graphical gadgets did
nothing but create a world of hurt for me, I gave up on it and always take
out all graphical booting nonsense immediately after an installation on
any of the zoo of Debian and Ubuntu servers and clients that I maintain.

One of the reasons beeing that booting with more then one encrypted device
didn't work.

I want to know what is happening (or failing) behind the curtains during
the boot process. Otherwise I could instead use OS X or Windows.....

A config file is very acceptable for me. Those who don't want it can
switch it off. Those who don't want to stay blind and uninformed will
switch it on.

@Steve: Don't you agree?
