Dear Maintainer,

The Plymouth Package has a hard-dependency on systemd for installation. This
should not be the case, seeing as there are initscripts present for it. I have
tested a simple fix where elogind is added in the source control file as an 
alternative to systemd's dependency, and it has worked every time I have tried
it. This will allow non-systemd users to use plymouth, and is a very simple
fix.
