Malcolm, could you answer Ray Strode's question on the upstream bug, please?

"So one bit I'm a little worried about is this part:

+ if (plugin->state != PLY_BOOT_SPLASH_DISPLAY_NORMAL)
+ display_normal (plugin);

That suggests we're going to move the details plugin out of "ask the user for a
password" mode if we decide to print a message, even if the user hasn't
answered the question yet.

In practice, this may work for the details plugin since it doesn't do a lot
when switching modes (not sure), but I think it doesn't read well."
