Oh damn, we already have been here: #856789.

At that time I manipulated the update script so that plymouthd.conf  
only gets modified on Debian Edu installations. This was sufficient  
for Debian policy. I will revert this now to the previous state.

This is the commit that introduced this regression (neglecting history  
of the package):
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-edu/debian-edu-artwork/-/commit/65703345dd7a400c3f4d548ae037f63253a4f1a2

(My revert will then also contain a comment to never undo this again).

Sorry, for the noise!!!

Mike
