Upstream are resisting a proper fix, but that would take months or years anyway. So here's a series of steps that will get us closer to a solution in 20.10:

1. Land this fix upstream: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/-/merge_requests/109

2. Update Ubuntu/Debian with the attached debdiff (requires the above upstream fix first).

3. Nvidia users or the Nvidia installer can now manually set DeviceTimeout=1 in /usr/share/plymouth/plymouthd.defaults

4. The future is slightly brighter as we carry fewer patches and have a working daemon config file we can use for other things too.
