Bug Description

On a fresh trusty install:
Issue:
_ when booting, letters in bootscreen messages are replaced by rectangles (with cryptsetup installed for example).
_ running "update-initramfs -k all -u" produces a warning:
   "cp: impossible d'évaluer «/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf»: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type"

locate DejaVuSans :
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono-Bold.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf

error in path: ttf-dejavu --> dejavu

Obviously the fonts' location changed when 'ttf-dejavu-core' was renamed to 'fonts-dejavu-core'
Plymouth should be updated to reflect that change.

The warning comes from:
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth: cp /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf ${DESTDIR}/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/
