Thanks for the bug report. I wasn't aware that login manager need to do that. (I never use plymouth.) > For init scripts that can be done by the following shell snippet (just > before starting the DM): > > """ > if [ -x /bin/plymouth ] ; then > /bin/plymouth quit > fi > """ Done in git: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/wdm.git/commit/?id=d3b07cbd0024c888e24d3617d89fa24044bd15d5 Since I don't have a real hardware running plymouth on and I refuse to install it on any machine in even near-production level use, I'll have to setup a VM specifically to test this. As I'm currently travelling, I can't promise to get this tested before Tuesday evening. If the release team prefers a soon upload, I can do an upload with that feature untested. Lintian also informed me about another issue in the package: E: wdm: init.d-script-needs-depends-on-lsb-base etc/init.d/wdm (line 30) I assume fixing that issue doesn't hinder getting a freeze exception. The according commit in Git is https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/wdm.git/commit/?id=5c5dc8d62117d6f5448ab3a82bf7f97283146c02 > PS: If a later version should add a systemd service file then it > should be a question of adding the following under the "[Unit]" > section: > > """ > After=plymouth-quit.service > """ Cc'ing #761642 for that so it doesn't become left behind after this bug report has been closed. > NB: Please do *not* add a systemd unit for stretch at this point in > time. Sure. P.S.: Your bug report (and #860463) was caught by my spam filter as one of the bugs.debian.org hosts seems to be blacklisted: RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET, RCVD_IN_SBL_CSS, RCVD_IN_SORBS_SPAM, RCVD_IN_SORBS_WEB, T_DKIM_INVALID, URIBL_BLOCKED (Will write a full "bug report" against the BTS for that.)
