Bug Description
Binary package hint: plymouth
In attempting to port some scripts from usplash to plymouth, I can't find any way to show extended messages on the screen. I expect that either they would wrap, or I'd be able to output multiple lines at the same time, but neither is happening.
Here's the command I used for test reference:
$ sudo plymouth message --text="this is gonna be a very very long message. i want to see what happens when plymouth gets such a long message. can it handle it? Lets see. Come on you can do it. Show the whole message"

Is this only a particular theme that isn't doing the wrapping, as opposed to plymouth itself? This is affecting the default Lucid startup screen when it asks "F to attempt to fix the errors..."
See the attached screenshot, taken in a small-ish VirtualBox window.
