+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] main: if deactivate when already deactivated return
+ immediately
+
+We were trying to ignore second deactivate requests, but
+were instead crashing because we're trying to use a nullified
+trigger.
+
+This commit makes sure things don't go crashy when a user
+does "plymouth deactivate" on an already deactivated plymouthd.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] two-step: don't update progress when idle
+
+We've already reach a state where we aren't drawing anymore, etc,
+so don't update progress and potentially fire off animations
+that won't be seen.
