Bug Description

Binary package hint: plymouth

something apparently gets lost in the shuffle, but plymouth doesn't succeed (i dont even know if it tries) to draw the color splash on shutdown, but it draws the crawler fine (and you can see little boxes around where it draws changed areas, but nothing else changes)

This is likely to be a duplicate of bug #854329. If you don't have lightdm (or another DM) installed on your system and you're seeing this issue, please speak up so we know to track this as a separate bug.
