Okay, so I just extracted the two initrds (the one from the squashfs
in /boot and the other from the actual usb key in /syslinux) and their
files out. It looks like the plymouth theme itself is all present in
both and also set in /etc/plymouth/plymouthd.conf as default. It's
however not in /usr/share/plymouth/plymouthd.defaults, but doing a sed
on that in %post didn't change the behaviour at all.

Mhm, interesting! :)
