Public bug reported: Installed updates via apt, and it was getting stuck on keyboard- configuration.
I started playing around with its postinst script and realized it was stuck on plymouth --ping (so I removes that line and had the script assume plymouth was present as it is). Now I find the same problem on console-setup-linux. Will fix doing the same thing, but now I'm sure this means that plymought has really frozen on my system.
