It pulls the information from /etc/fedora-release - there's nothing to
do in plymouth itself. If your /etc/fedora-release comes from a correctly
rebranded package, the right thing should happen.
Well, here is the thing. I run sed on /etc/fedora-release, I get a
rebranded distro everywhere except for plymouth which already has picked
up the name and won't let it go. Now I did replace fedora-release with
my own foo-release but then I realized, I have to maintain my own
repository now as well inorder to not break the upgrade path. I would
like to avoid doing that by just not having Plymouth display that text
at all.
