I was just upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04, I didn't change any files.
Actually, during the upgrade the system reported errors with this package.
Here is the output you asked for
jean@jean-desktop:~$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/text.plymouth
/lib/plymouth/themes/text.plymouth
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 jul 5 2011 /etc/alternatives/text.plymouth ->
/lib/plymouth/themes/text.plymouth
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 jun 15 2011 /lib/plymouth/themes/text.plymouth
-> /etc/alternatives/text.plymouth
