Package: grub-common
Version: 2.02~beta2-15
Severity: important

Dear Maintainers,

thank you for maintaining GRUB in Debian.

Please add the "splash" option to the Linux default command line, as
just installing plymouth otherwise has no effect, and plymouth is the
recommended solution for fixing bootup multiplexing issues (f.e.
password prompting for encrypted disks).

I consider this issue being important as it would improve setups
running with the default init (systemd) and any other event-based
inits.

Thank you,
Christian
