The After= ordering by systemd-ask-password-console.service is harmless.
The Wants= is what is causing the message.
systemd-ask-password-plymouth.path is shipped by the plymouth package,
thus re-assigning

I don't know why systemd-ask-password-plymouth.path needs
systemd-vconsole-setup.service? Maybe the plymouth maintainers can
elaborate.
We disabled vconsole support in systemd since we already have
console-setup in Debian.
The plymouth package should probably adjust this accordingly and
probably just drop this
