I've again encountered more of these so I'm convinced there really is some issue around tomcat/plymouth causing this as I'm not willing to assume that so much people out there manually modified these init scripts (which happened in the past and were the reasons to not consider this too much so far).
I'll try to dup a few more bugs onto this one hoping that I find more of them and we should try to discuss, analyze and fix it on this one as the center for these discussions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1646731 Title: insserv: Starting tomcat depends on plymouth and therefore on system facility `$all' which can not be true!
