+Subject: [PATCH] populate-initrd: If PLYMOUTH_THEME_NAME is set, write it
+ into plymouthd.conf
+
+You can set PLYMOUTH_THEME_NAME when building initramfs to get a
+different theme into initramfs, but this doesn't change the default
+theme, so the resulting initramfs won't actually use the theme we
+installed.
+
+This patch makes plymouth-populate-initrd rewrite the 'Theme=XXX' line
+in plymouthd.conf, so plymouth will use the theme we install.
