** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ Plymouth is crashing regularly for users of releases before Ubuntu 18.04. The 
crash reporting dialogs must be annoying for those experiencing the crash.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ We have not figured out how to recreate the crash, but the errors bucket 
(https://errors.ubuntu.com/bucket/?id=/sbin/plymouthd%3A11%3Ascript_obj_deref_direct%3Ascript_obj_as_custom%3Ascript_execute_object_with_parlist%3Ascript_execute_object%3Ascript_lib_plymouth_on_update_status)
 is updated hourly from people who encounter the crash. Checking the errors 
bucket for an absence of the new version should be sufficient to confirm that 
the crash is not occurring.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ The fix for this bug involved dropping an undocumented patch from plymouth 
which is rather risky. That being said the fix has been in Ubuntu 18.04 since 
mid April and no regressions have turned up. While I'm checking the Error 
Tracker for new plymouth crashes regularly it would be best to let this SRU age 
for longer than the 7 day period to be sure nothing is amiss.
