Ah. So the difference appears to be that dracut in F16 requires
plymouth, while dracut in F17 does not.

This appears to be the change in dracut:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=dracut.git;a=commitdiff;h=6adbc8b2385f395f211937b707b0c0c321179e3f

which changes it from requiring a particular plymouth version to
conflicting with any older plymouth version.

I'm not sure if we need to re-add an explicit dependency on plymouth in
dracut, or add a dependency elsewhere, or add plymouth to comps.
