What is the status of getting usplash and/or boot splash screen suppport into Debian? I tested usplash from ubuntu, and the only issue to solve before it will work out of the box seem to be the framebuffer enabling. The code do enable it was moved from the usplash package to the initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu, but seem to be missing from the debian version of initramfs-tools. Not quite sure how to properly fix that for debian.
I've sent a few patches for usplash to Scott James Remnant, and hope he will include them in a future version. Nothing fancy, just adding more sensible error messages which helped me figure out why usplash was failing when I tested it without a working framebuffer. :) I'll try to get usplash uploaded this week, along with a new version of initscripts with progress bar support.
