My standpoint is that installing (or at least activating) splashy

usplash uses bogl, same as d-i, so if d-i worked in framebuffer mode,
I'll bet that usplash will also work. Until I see a system where it
doesn't anyway. :-) Systems installed using g-i also seem likely to
support
usplash.
AFAIK g-i uses dfb and on this case splashy would work ;-)
If usplash uses bogl and bogl uses framebuffer, then usplash will work
almost anywhere g-i does.
It wont't work on i386 and amd64 systems where the video chip is not
supported by vesafb (see #405737).
AFAIK, usplash has two backends, svgalib and bogl...and I believe that
usplash works with both vesafb and vga16fb as well as chipset-specific
fb drivers...
iirc, we have vga16fb always up, even if vesafb is not, so if you can
make usplash run on vga16fb only, there should be no problem on x86.
Infact, iirc, vga16fb is much more compatible than vesafb.
