It is not an artificial dependency. *mountall cannot communicate with the
user without plymouth.* There must be some framework for multiplexing
boot-time I/O in order to let packages like mountall communicate with the
user, and that framework is plymouth. There aren't even any other
contenders in the field.

And your persistent sniping here about Ubuntu design decisions is an
inappropriate use of the bug system. Please stop.
