Package: plymouth Version: 24.004.60-1+b2 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
I used to have a symlink from /etc/plymouth/plymouthd.conf to my dotfiles repository, which resulted in a broken theme (a gray screen with three white dots). At some point I realized that the initramfs hook is copying the symlink itself, so I switched to a hardlink which resolved that issue. The problem is in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth which uses `cp -dRp` to copy certain files. Could that be changed to `cp -p` perhaps? I noticed that `cp -R` will still create symlinks when used with a single file, but recursion isn't necessary in these cases anyway. I also saw some other hooks explicitly use `cp -L`.
