Cannot cancel automatic fsck during boot

[Алексей Капранов (Alex Kapranoff)]

Binary package hint: plymouth

Automatic fsck displays a message "Press "C" to cancel checking disks" but pressing "C" doesn't do anything. I was able to skip fsck by pressing ESC to escape from Plymouth graphical screen to console, then pressing Ctrl-C on which plymouth process dies with SIGSEGV and then pressing Ctrl-C once more to continue booting.
