Hello,

the current update-grub output in case of a splash image is the
following:
=====
gismo:~# /sbin/update-grub
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
Testing for an existing GRUB menu.list file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst
Searching for splash image ... Found splashscreen: 
splashimage=/boot/grub/splashimages/debsplash.xpm.gz

Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-rc4
Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16
Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done

gismo:~#
=====

I don't like the splash image line, because it's quite different from
the output above (installation directory and menu.list).  The attached
patch changes renders the output similar to the above one:
=====
gismo:~# ./update-grub
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
Testing for an existing GRUB menu.list file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst
Searching for splash image ... found: /boot/grub/splashimages/debsplash.xpm.gz

Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-rc4
Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16
Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done

Please consider for inclusion, TIA.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
