Package: desktop-base
Version: 12.0.5
Severity: important

The latest plymouth theme for Debian 12 doesn't show any messages/prompts/fields.

The consequences of this is that when you boot up, you don't see the prompt to decrypt your disk, so it appears that the boot process has frozen (until you press escape and see the console luks prompt).

On live systems, when you reboot/shutdown, the user is prompted to remove the live media and press enter, but since this message is now not visibile, it appears that the system has frozen (until the user pressess enter).

Marking as important, since this is quite a big regression.
