When attempting to `apt-get install plymouth` , apt-get complains that 
plymouth requires systemd, which has no installation candidates. The output:

root@Printers:~# apt-get install plymouth

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 plymouth : Depends: systemd (>= 232-8~) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
root@Printers:~# apt-get install plymouth systemd

Reading state information... Done
Package systemd is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  udev libsystemd-dev libnss-mymachines libnss-myhostname systemd-bootchart 
systemd-coredump systemd-container
  libnss-resolve ifupdown

E: Package 'systemd' has no installation candidate
