critical init scripts depend on plymouth!?!

[Lee Revell]

I removed a bunch of GUI stuff (using apt, not forcing anything) from several virtual machines would use fewer resources. Afterwards "service apache2 start" just hung. I discovered this is due to the init script calling "plymouth --ping" which was hanging. The workaround was to set loop=yes in /etc/default/rcS.

It is totally wrong for apache or any non-GUI, non-desktop related service to depend on a "graphical boot animation and logger" to start correctly!
