... which appears to be a regression in xenial. The 'splash' commandline
option was previously used to control whether or not a graphical splash was
shown; it was *not* used to control whether plymouth itself was running,
only whether it was graphical.

Didier, why have you disabled the plymouth services when 'splash' is not
given on the commandline? What is the expected boot experience now for e.g.
filesystem checks on a server (that may require interaction)?
