Hi,

the package libplymouth-dev is missing dependencies on libevdev, xkbcommon and
libudev. Compiling plugins without these packages installed yields the
following error message from pkgconf:

Package libevdev was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libevdev.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'libevdev', required by 'ply-splash-core', not found
Package 'xkbcommon', required by 'ply-splash-core', not found
Package 'libudev', required by 'ply-splash-core', not found

The following patch should fix this problem:
